I would try my finger and I would try my hand
At any fool game in this man's land
But don't you talk about this-a friend of mine,
I ain't never been let down and you'd be wastin' time.
I would scratch and steal, I would maim a man,
Yeah, I know you won't give me no peace of mind,
Try to understand I just wanna feel good all the time.
Don't you talk about a dear old friend of mine,
Well, I know that you are sweet and more than double fine.
Everybody said you oughta marry that rich man down the line,
Honey, you just ain't as sweet as my strawberry wine,
Oh no, no no no no no no no no, no no no no no no no no.
Yeah, You caught me when I's down a-sleepin' in the park,
