I realize of course that this thread is more or less dead, but in case anyone should look at this or come across it on Google, here are the lyrics as sung by the Dust Busters, a new(ish) string band very much like the New Lost City Ramblers.

1. You better quit your rowdy ways
   You better quit your rowdy ways
   They'll get you awfully fast (?) (this is not quite decipherable)
   If they don't, you'll wish they had,
   You better quit your rowdy ways
Chorus:
   Baby your time ain't long
   Baby your time ain't long
   Your time ain't long,
   because you've done me wrong,
   Baby your time ain't long
2. I wish I was a lizard in the spring (x2)
   If I was a lizard in the spring,
   I'd hear my baby sing
   Wish I was a lizard in the spring
Chorus
3. Never liked no railroad boss (x2)
   Railroad boss went and hid behind my hoss
   Never liked no railroad boss
Chorus
4. I got a good woman just the same (x2)
   Woman just the same and Liza is her name
   Got a good woman just the same
Chorus

This is the best I could transcribe my recording of the Dust Busters singing this. If anyone has another recording or has input that might clear up the lines that I had trouble deciphering (the lines with (?) at the end), you are welcome to contribute.
