I'm looking for a woman, that will work to set me down 
I'm looking for a woman, that will work to set me down 
I've been looking all night long, she can't be found 
Well I met one last night, and I told her what I liked 
Well I met one last night, and I told her what I liked 

She said get away from here country boy, go back to your countryside 
Well tell me baby, what you see wrong with me 
Well tell me baby, what you see wrong with me 
Well if I had you baby, you wouldn't be lookin' back at me 

Well so long mama, baby bye-bye you bye 
Well so long mama, baby bye-bye you bye 
Well now bye-bye baby, with a tear in your eye
