Classic Poem

When you lose your money
please don't lose your mind
When you lose your money
please don't lose your mind
When you lose your woman
please don't fool with mine

Tell you married men
how to keep your wives at home
Tell you married men
how to keep your wives at home
Get you a job
and roll for the man
and try to carry your labor home
Mmmmmmmmmm mmmmmm
try to carry your labor home

Tell you married women
how to keep your husband at home
Tell you married women
how to keep your husband at home
Mmmmmmmmmm
mmmmmm mmmm mmmm
Take care of your husband's labor
and let these single boys alone

What make a
single woman
crazy 'bout a married man
What make a single woman
crazy 'bout a married man
'Cause he works all the time
he puts money in her hand

What make a married woman
so crazy 'bout a single man
Mmmmmmmmmm
mmmmmm mmmm mmmm
What make a married woman
so crazy 'bout a single man
'Cause the husband might lay down and die
and leave that fellow to her hand

Let me tell you men
what these married women will do
Let me tell you boys
what these married women will do
She will get your money
she will catch up to you

Tell you this, men
ain't gonna tell you nothing else
Tell you this, men
ain't gonna tell you nothing else
Man's a fool if he thinks
he's got a whole woman by hisself
