Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Look on yonder wall, hand me down my walkin' cane

Look on yonder wall and hand me down my walkin' cane

I got me another woman, baby, yon' come your man

[Verse 2]

Look on yonder wall and hand me down my walkin' cane

Look on yonder wall and hand me down my walkin' cane

I got me another woman and, uh, baby, yon' come your man

[Verse 3]

You up and went to the wall

And you know it was tough

I don't know how many men you killed

But I know you done killed enough, but you

Look on yonder wall and hand me down my walkin' cane

I got me another woman, now baby, yon' come your man

Oh, yeah

[Verse 4]

I love you, baby, but you just don't treat me right

Spend all of my money and walk the streets all night

But, look on yonder wall and hand me down my walkin' cane

I got me another woman and baby, yon' come your man
