"I'm all alone in this world, she said ...."






I’m all alone in this world, she said,
Ain’t got nobody to share my bed,
Ain’t got nobody to hold my hand—
The truth of the matter's
 I ain’t got no man.

Big Boy opened his mouth and said,
Trouble with y
ou is
You ain't got no head!
If you had a head and used your mind
You could have me with you
All the time.

She answered, Babe, what must I do?

He said, Share your bed—
And your money, too.
