I`m gonna tell you somethin`

Babe, that you can do

You better take it kind-a easy

I got my eyes on you



You gotta give an account

Just what you`ll

Just-a what you`ll do



If you got a good woman

An she won`t treat you right

An feed her three times a day

An wup her a little at night



You gotta give an account

Just what you`ll

Just what you`ll do



Now, Mr. Depot agent

Don`t cha make me cry

Did my baby stop here?

Did she keep on ridin`?



You got to give an account

Just what you`ll

Just a-what you`ll do



Now, I want all you people

To gather around

My baby doesn`t even love me

Treat me like a hound



You got to give an account

Just what you

Just what you`ll do, now



(harmonica & strings)



I go`d out buy her Chevrolet

Still, she wanted a V8 Ford

She said she wanted something

Would be easy to hold in the road



She got to give an account

Just what she`ll

Just what she`ll do



I wave my hand

She wouldn`t pay me no mind

Right on my do`

She nailed up a sign



But she got to give an account

Just what you

Just what she`ll do.



(harmonica & strings to end)
