Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Whoa, I asked her for water

Whoa, she brought me gasoline

Whoa, asked her for water

Whoa, she brought me gasoline

That's the troublest wa-hoo

That I ever seen

[Verse 2]

Whoa, the church bell is tollin'

Whoa, the hearse come drivin' slow

Whoa, the church bell tollin'

Whoa, the hearse come drivin' slow

I hope my baby, ooh, don't leave me no more

[Verse 3]

Whoa, tell me, baby

Whoa, when are you comin' back home?

Whoa, tell me, baby

Whoa, when are you comin' back home?

You know I love you, babe

But you've been gone too long
