You know my momma told me when I wasn't very old

Don't spend your money on love boy, cause love ain't bought and sold.

Stay away from wild women now. Remember what you've been told

Those girls down the street, they ain't no good for you.

They'll help you drink your whiskey and take your money too.

But when your money's all gone now, they'll leave you sad and blue.

You know I didn't listen, I went on down the street

The ladies look so fine now and their love is so sweet.

I'm walking home with nothing now. Not even shoes on my feet.
