[Verse 1]
I woke up this morning feeling mighty bad
I woke up this morning feeling mighty bad
'Twas the worst old feeling that I ever had
[Verse 2]
It's war on Ethiopia and mama's feeling blue
It's war on Ethiopia, mama's feeling blue
I tell the cockeyed world I don't know what to do
[Verse 3]
They say that Ethiopia is a long ways from here
They say that Ethiopia's a long ways from here
They're trying to steal my man and carry him over there
[Verse 4]
I love my man, tell the cockeyed world I do
I love my man, tell the cockeyed world I do
It's coming up the time but he sure loves me too
[Verse 5]
This old cockeyed world will make your good man trеat you mean
This old cockeyed world will makе your good man treat you mean
He will treat you just like a poor girl he's never seen
[Verse 6]
It's war on Ethiopia and the man overhead
It's war on Ethiopia and my man overhead
I tell the cockeyed world the things my baby said
[Verse 7]
It's war on Ethiopia, baby please please behave
It's war on Ethiopia, please please behave
I'll tell the cockeyed world I'll follow you to your grave
That’s right
