From four until late
I was wringing my hands and crying.

That your daddy's Gulfport bound.

From four until late,
She made me a no-good barroom clown.

But tear a good man's reputation down.

Some man always running through its drawers.

To wear an apron overall.

I will bid you fare farewell.
When I leave this town
I will bid you fare farewell.
And when I return again,
You'll have a great long story to tell.
