Times ain't now nothing like they used to be, Times ain't now nothing like they used to be, Well, I tell you the truth, won't you take my word from me. I've seen better days, but I ain't puttin' up with these. I've seen better days, but I ain't puttin' up with these. Had a lot better times with the women down in New Orleans 'Cause I was born in the country she thinks I'm easy to lose, 'Cause I was born in the country she thinks I'm easy to lose. She wants to hitch me to a wagon and drive me like a mule I bought her a gold ring and I paid the rent I bought her a gold ring and I paid the rent She wants me to wash her clothes but I got good common sense I gave you sugar for sugar, you want salt for salt. I gave you sugar for sugar, but you want salt for salt, And if you can't get along, honey, it's your own damn fault. Sometimes I think you're just too sweet to die, Sometimes I think you're just too sweet to die, Other times I think you ought to be buried alive.
