Last December I met a girl, she took a likin’ to me

 Said she loved me, but she didn’t know the meanin’ of the word

She imagined love to be grand, me holdin’ her hand and

Wisperin’ sweet things and, cooin’ softly like a songbird

Then one mornin’ she came to me, with a tear in her eye and a

Sigh on her breath Lord she said, "Hon, I’m heavy with child"

I said "God damn girl can’t you see, that I’m breakin’ my back

 Just tryin’ to keep my head above water, and it’s turnin’ me wild

Cinderella can’t you see, don’t want your company

You better leave this mornin’ leave today,

take your love and your child away

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no; No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no;

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no; No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no;

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no; No, no, no, no, no

Woh, woh, woh...etc. Woh, woh, woh, no

Rockin’ chair on the front porch, and I’m thinkin’ about all the

 things that I did as a young man, now that I’m old

I remember her and the boy, did he have all the toys and the joys

 That a young man should have, before he gets too old

Cinderella couldn’t you see, I didn’t want your company

 Shoulda left that mornin, left that day, took your love and your child...
