Paragraph Lyric
Oh, I asked her for water, she brought me gasoline.
Oh, I asked her for water, she brought me gasoline.
That's the troublingest woo-hoo (woman?), that I ever seen.
The church bell tollin', the hearse come driving slow.
The church bell tollin', the hearse come driving slow.
I hope my baby, don't leave me no more.
Oh tell me baby, when are you coming back home?
Oh tell me baby, when are you coming back home?
You know I love you baby, but you've been gone too long.
Oh, I asked her for water, she brought me gasoline.  Oh, I asked her for water, she brought me gasoline.  That's the troublingest woo-hoo (woman?), that I ever seen.   The church bell tollin', the hearse come driving slow.  The church bell tollin', the hearse come driving slow.  I hope my baby, don't leave me no more.  Oh tell me baby, when are you coming back home?  Oh tell me baby, when are you coming back home?  You know I love you baby, but you've been gone too long.
