See me reelin' this rockin',
drunk as I can be
man I love tryin' to make a fool out of me
I'm leaving this morning,
I'm leaving this morning,
I'm leaving, tryin' to find a man of my own.
When I get through drinking,
gon' buy a Gatlin gun
find my man,
he better hitch up and run
well I'm leaving this morning,
I'm leaving this morning
I'm going to Kansas City to bring Jim Jackson home.
I give him all my money,
treat him nice as I can
he got another woman,
wait till I find my man
Lord, I'm leaving this morning,
I'm leaving this morning
I'm leaving, trying to find a man of my own
I went up Eighteenth Street,
found out where the other woman stayed
change my man of his triflin' ways
I'm leaving this morning,
I'm leaving this morning.
I'm leaving, trying to find a man of my own.
I walked down the street,
didn't have on no hat
asking everybody I meet where my sweet babe is at
I'm leaving this morning,
I'm leaving this morning
I'm going to Kansas City to bring Jim Jackson home.
