Lyrics for Turpentine Moan

My baby's gone She runnin' 'round with someone else My baby's gone She runnin' 'round with someone else She won't come back I just can't help myself She left last night Just about half past nine She left late last night, now Just about half past nine Why'd she leave me? I just can't keep from cryin' (Yeah, I'm gonna moan a little bit now, hey-ah) (Yeah, why'd you do that to me, baby) (Ya know I love you) (Yeah, I'd do anything you want me to do) Well, what you gonna do When your troubles they get like mine? Well, what you gonna do When your troubles they get like mine? You take a mouth full of sugar Drink a bottle of turpentine (Hey, come on now) (Aw, I got trouble) (Seem like bad luck follow me everywhere I go) (Now, I want you to remember this, now) What you gonna do When your troubles they get like mine? Well, what you gonna do When your troubles they get like mine? (Yeah, I got 'em) You take a mouth full of sugar Drink a bottle of turpentine (Aw, yeah that'll kill everything else, baby) (Aw)
