One of these days
Now when I go to work, I work all day
Always turns out the same
When I bring home my hard earned pay
I spend my money all on Mary Jane
Mary Jane, Mary Jane, Lord, my Mary Jane
Oh if a man should look tame now, mean and mature
They all turn out the same
'Cause they can't do nothing to make a man feel good
Like my old Mary Jane
Mary Jane, Mary Jane, Lord, my Mary Jane
Now I walk in the street now lookin' for a friend
One that can lend me some change
And he never questions my reason why
'Cause he too loves Mary Jane
Mary Jane, Mary Jane, Lord, my Mary Jane
Well, I have known women that wanted no man
Some that wanted to stay
But I never knew what happened in this world
Till I met up with Mary Jane
Mary Jane, Mary Jane, Lord my Mary Jane
Oh, when I'm feelin' lonesome and I'm feelin' blue
There's only one way to change
Now I walk down the street now lookin' for a man
One that knows my Mary Jane
Mary Jane, Mary Jane, Lord my Mary Jane
I been rockin' and reelin', Lord as long as I can be
Lord, the man that I love tryin' to make a fool out of me
Babe, I'm leavin', yeah I'm a-leavin' this mornin'

Now well I used to drink and I'm gonna buy a gallon
I'm gonna find me my man I say, get a pair of overalls
I'm leavin', yeah I'm gonna go to Kansas City, ha ha ha
Goin' to Kansas City, yeah, to make my man my own
I'll walk on Beauty Street with an idea I might stay
If she wants my man I'll just change my ways
Lord I'm leavin', yeah I'm leavin' this mornin'
Goin' to Kansas City to bring Jim Jackson home
Go ahead, take it!

Got the blues from my baby
Left me by the San Francisco Bay
This big ocean liner took her so far away
Didn't mean to treat her so bad
She was the best girl I ever have had
She said good-bye, and she made me cry
I'm gonna lay right down and die
Well, I ain't got a nickel and I ain't got a lousy dime
If she don't come back I think I'm gonna lose my mind
If she ever comes back to stay
Well, that'll be another brand new day
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay
Sittin' in my back door
Wondering which way to go
That woman I'm so crazy about
She don't love me no more
Lord, I think I'll grab a freight train
Because I'm feeling blue
Ride all the way to the end of the line
Thinking only about you
Well, meanwhile in another city
Just about to go insane
Thought I heard my baby
The way she used called my name
If she ever comin' back to stay
Well, that'll be another brand new day
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay
(I really mean it!)
Oh, walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay, whew!
I'm the winin' boy, don't you deny my name
I'm the winin' boy, don't you deny my name
Now my name
Well, I'm the winin' boy, don't you deny my name
I pick it up and shake it like sweet Stavin' Chain
Mm, the winin' boy, don't deny now my name
Now mama mama, mama look at Sis
Oh, mama mama, take a look at little Sis
Look at Sis
Well now mama mama, mama take a look at Sis
Lord, she's out on the levee doin' the Double Twist
Mm, the winin' boy, don't you deny now my name
I'm the winin' boy, now don't you deny my name
I'm the winin' boy, don't you deny my name
Now my name
Lord, I'm the winin' boy, don't you deny my name
I'll pick it up and shake it, Lord, like sweet Stavin' Chain
Mm, the winin' boy, don't you deny now my name
Oh love, oh love, oh careless love (3 x's)
Now now don't you see what your careless love has done
Well you worried my mother till she died
And you caused my father to lose his mind
Now damn you I'm goin' to shoot you, Lord
I'm gonna shoot you both right down
I'm gonna spare no one of you child till you spin next dyin'
Oh love, oh love, oh careless love (3 x's)
Oh Lord, don't you see what, what your careless love has done
Oh yeah
Careless love now don't know see how you follow me down
Careless love, don't you see how you follow me down
Well, you robbed me out of my silver, Lord, and out of my gold
Ever since you been ah ridin' by my side
Oh love, oh love, oh careless
Oh love, yes oh love, oh careless love
Oh love, I said love, oh careless love now
Don't you see what your careless love has done, yeah
It brings a tear into my eyes
When I began, Lord, to realize
If you don't think that, honey, you'll be home soon
You know I'll drown, drown, oh Lord, in my own tears
I know it's true into his mind
A little rain is bound to fall
But since you've been gone honey I'm so blue
It just keeps rainin', keeps right on rainin' more and more
I cried just like a child
My poor tears, Lord, they were runnin' wild
If you don't think that baby you'll be home soon now
You know I'll drown, drown, oh Lord, in my own tears
Yeah!
Yeah!
