Part I: Looky, Looky Yonder

Looky looky yonder
Looky looky yonder
Looky looky yonder
Where the sun done gone
The cap'in' can't hold ‘em
Cap'in can't hold 'em
Cap'in can't hold 'em
The way I do
Yes Addie gotta gold mine
Addie gotta gold mine
Addie gotta gold mine
Way above her knee
Looky looky yonder
Looky looky yonder
Looky looky yonder
Where the sun done gone
I's just walking
I's just walking
I's just walking
All day long
She's been talking
She's been talking
She's been talking
Babe, all day long
Looky looky yonder
Looky looky yonder
Looky looky yonder
Where the sun done gone

Part III: Yallow Women's Door Bells

Last Monday, baby I was arrested
(Lawd, lawd, lawd)
On Tuesday, I was locked up in jail
(Lawd, lawd, lawd)
On Wednesday, my child was attested
(Lawd, lawd)
On Thursday, nobody's gonna call my bail, here's some more
Almost done, here's some more
Almost done, here's some more
Almost done (lawd, lawd)
And I ain't gonna, ain't done
Y'all don't gimme no bail
(Lawd, lawd, lawd, lawd)
Last Monday, baby I went a-walkin'
(Lawd, lawd)
On Tuesday, I shot me a dog
(Lawd, lawd, lawd)
On Wednesday, we was sittin' down a-talkin'
(Lawd, lawd)
On Thursday, she pawned all of my clothes
(Lawd, lawd, lawd)
