Classic Poem

You told me, early last fall, you never had no man at all
Fare thee, baby, fare thee well
You told me, early last fall, you never had no man at all
Well you got more men than a 2-ton truck can haul

You told me, to my face, there's a good man in my place
Fare thee, baby, fare thee well
You told me, to my face, there's a good man in my place
Fare thee, baby, fare thee well

You told me, it was early spring, when the birds begin to sing
Fare thee, baby, fare thee well
You told me, early last spring, when the birds began to sing
Well it's the last chance, kid, to be 'round here with me

I told you, early next June, when the flowers begin to bloom
Fare thee, baby, fare thee well
I told you, early in June, when the flowers begin to bloom
You can't do no better, another good girl can take your room

Go and h'ist your window, let your curtain down
Fare thee, baby, fare thee well
Go and h'ist your window, let your curtain down
Well you can't tell, there may be some joker around

Go and put on your night gown, baby, let's we go lie down
Fare thee, baby, fare thee well
Go and put on your night gown, baby, let's we go lie down
Well it's the last chance, shaking in the bed with you
