"Well when I was a young-un they used to teach me to play music like this here..." When I look in your face baby When I look in your eyes I can tell pretty mama I been wastin' time 'Cause you don't really love me You just love me for what I am But you best treat me right, woman Gonna lose your money man Well when I first met you baby, you was a red light girl But I tried to take you to better world But you would not listen Still you think I am a fool Well you had it made in the shade, baby Don't let that tree fall down on you Well I work the railroad each and every day Well I work real hard tryin' to make my pay Lord I never tell you what you supposed to say Girl you had it made in the shade Don't let that tree fall down on you
