[Refrain]
Don't want me, baby, got to have me anyhow
Don't want me, baby, got to have me anyhow
[Verse 1]
It was late last night when everything was still
Well, me and your baby eased out on the hill
I tried my best to do my father's will
I tried my best to do my father's will
[Refrain]
Don't want me, baby, got to have me anyhow
Don't want me, baby, got to have me anyhow
[Verse 2]
The sun go down, ain't this a lonesome place?
The sun goin' down and ain't this a lonesome place?
So lonesome here, can't see'un my baby's face
It's so lonesome here, I can't see'un in my baby's face
[Refrain]
You don't want me, baby, got to have me anyhow
Don't want me, baby, got to have me anyhow
