I saw this old man with this young girl the other night.
I walked over to him and pulled him off on the side,
And I said, "Pops, what are you trying to prove?"
I said, "I've seen you out here every night this week
with a different young girl wrapped around your arm."
I said, "You can't keep this pace up, uh,
"Because these young girls,
huh, oh! -- they'll certainly get you down."

The old hometown looks the same
As I step down from the train
And there to meet me is my mama and my papa
And down the road I look and, there runs Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries

It's good to touch the
Green-green grass of home

You'd better hold on to what you've got
You'd better hold on to what you've got
Cause if you think nobody wants it
Just throw it away and you will see
Someone will have it before you can count 1, 2, 3
Yes they will, yes they will
Listen fellows, you know it's not all the time
That a man can have a good woman

I gotcha
Aha-ha you thought I didn't see you now didn't ya
Aha-ha you tried to sneak away from me didn't ya
(Ha Ha Ha) Aha-ha now give me what you promised me
Give it up c'mon hey hey hey

You promised me today that you'd quit your boyfriend
I'd be the next one to ease on in

If I ever do you wrong
If I ever leave you all alone
If I ever tell you a lie
And if I ever make you cry
Baby, I hope a fire
Light on my pie
I hope a bee sting me over my eye

If I were a guitar,
I'd like to be played by BB King
If I were a little dog,
Rufus Thomas could walk me
Oh, but I'm a man,
Who needs to be loved, baby,
I'm a man, honey,
Needs to be needed,

Oh yes
Oh yes
All right
You know I got a letter from a friend of mine in New York City the other day.
He said, Joe, I heard you've had some trouble with the girls down home.
Said you ought to catch a bus and come on up to New York.
Said they got enough women up here to go around.
I'm thinking find yourself something,

Say man,
Don't walk ahead of that woman like she don't belong to you
Just cause hers got them little skinny legs
You know,that ain't no way to do
You didn't act like that when you had it home behind closed doors
Alright
Now you act like you're 'shamed or somethin'
Or you don't want nobody to know she's your's
