The woman I loved walked out on me,
What am I going to do.
Hound dog, bull frog, she just up and gone,
The woman I love has done me wrong,
What am I going to do.
Green beans, blackeyed peas,
What am I going to do,
The woman I love has let me down,
What am I going to do.
She's a delta queen know what I mean,
As mean as wildfire lightnin',
She can win and break the heart of any man,
She's the delta queen of New Orleans ,
And she loved me somethin' frightnin',
But she left me for a dollar wavin' man
