From do' to do'

Since that girl said, 'Good-bye'

I ain't had no real good lovin'
Pretty woman would never die
Since that gal said, 'Good-bye'

You may look good, baby
But you got to hang yo' head an cry
If I was the, Good Lord
Pretty women's would never die

Since that girl said, 'Good-bye'

I got to find my baby, 'cause I
I know what she's puttin' down

Now, I'm gonna walk the flo'

Well, I know if it's the last thing

Since that gal said, 'Good-bye'
I wanna find my big-leg brownskin
And make her my wife

Now, an I hate to see the sun
I've got to find my baby
A-hurry to the west

'Cause I know my whole night
I ain't had no real good lovin'
Gonna be a solid mess
Since that gal said, 'Good-bye'
