I had a woman Had a woman Had a mouthful of shiny gold I had a woman Had a mouthful of shiny gold Now that woman made trouble Every place she go She had a man On her mind She had a kid man, just a kid She had a man on her mind Had a kid man just a kid She has so many men She could use a kid I left that woman One morning Just to see out the break of day I left that woman one morning Just to see out the break of day I packed my suitcase Made my getaway Here I am In chicago And I'm doing very well Here I am in chicago And I'm doing very well Now if I can't find someone to love Sit here all by myself Now you can wait And moan Maybe fall down on your knees Now you can wait and moan mother Maybe fall down on your knees You can tell the whole world how you mistreated me
