Now, I'm goin' to Brownsville an 

Take that right hand road 

Now, I'm goin' to Brownsville 

Take that right hand road 

Lord, I ain't gon' stop walkin' 

'Till I get in sweet mama's do' 

Now, the girl I'm lovin' 

She got the great, long, curly hair 

Now, the girl I'm lovin' 

She's got the great, long, curly hair 

An her mama an her papa 

They sho' don't 'llow me there 

If you catch my duffel 

Hangin' upside yo' wall 

If you catch my duffel 

Hangin' upside yo' wall 

Now, you know by that, babe 

I need my ashes hauled 

Now, what cha' gon do, babe 

Yo' doughroller gone? 

What you gon do, babe 

Yo' doughroller gone? 

Go in yo' kitchen, Lordy 

Cook until she comes.
