My lady and me fought our way free from a shanty town   Parades of the blues were in every night   We slipped out of town with the morning's light      My lady and me wanted to see if we'd settle down   We're still on the make with a one man show   Gets harder to take, everyday we go   And when will it end, oh, we just don't know      A half dozen ladies tried to change my life-style   Promises and maybe, lead me astray, almost took me away   And we're ready, and were waiting patiently   For the time to come and be for my lady and me      Last night I had a thought of a house in the country   But this day is just another with everything in front of me   And my lady doesn't like it, but she won't say nothin' to me   We've been out here learnin' to love for a long time      And we're ready, yes, we're waiting patiently   For the time to come and be for my lady and me   Oh, my lady, oh, my lady, oh, my lady   Oh, my lady, oh, my lady      Oh, my lady and me fought our way free from a shanty town   Parades of the blues were in every night   We slipped out of town with the morning's light      My lady and me wanted to see if we'd settle down   We're still on the make with a one man show   Gets harder to take, everyday we go   And when it will end, oh, we just don't know   And when it will end, oh, we just don't know   And when it will end, oh, my lady
