No need to ask me : why I'm packing my clothes
I'm going to leave you mama : and I really don't care who knows

Now I used to love you : but now I'm getting tired of your kind
I'm going down south : just to see what I can find

Now I may miss you : but I don't think I will
I'm going to get me a new woman : to love me till I get my fill

You mistreated me mama : you would not treat me nice and sweet
So I'm going down south : shake this dust of this town off my feet
