Got up this mornin'
Fell flat on mah face.
Yeah I got up this mornin'
And fell flat on mah face.
Mah woman done left me
And tied mah shoelaces together.

Hopped out the door
Hopin' to find her
Yeah I hopped out the door
Hopin' to find her
Fell inta the pool
Cause she moved the house.

Tried ta swim ashore
But I couldn't do it
Yeah I tried to swim ta shore
But I couldn't do it
She'd tied me up good
And I done went an' drowned.
