My good gal loves me
everybody knows
and she paid a

just for me a suit of clothes
She come to the joint
a .44 in each hand
She said stand aside
all you women and men
cause I'm lookin' for my man
repeat verse #1 and tag #1
now you'll find my name
on the back of my shirt
In a Tennesse chain gang
they sure make me work
