Lyrics for World In A Jug

Well, I woke up one mornin' You were on my mind Oh well, I looked for you baby But you were hard to find I couldn't help but wonder How could I be so blind Oh well, I cried last night I cried the night before Oh well, I found you baby You didn't love me no more I couldn't help but wonder What I was cryin' for I got the world in a jug The stopper's in my hand I got me plenty of women Jump at my command If you don't want me, baby Find yourself another man Yeah No respect, baby Oh well, I'd rather be buried, Lord In some lonely cypress grove Than have a contrary woman That I can't control Just remember darlin' That you reap just what you sow Yeah I got the world in a jug The stopper's in my hand I got me plenty of women That jump at my command Well, if you don't want me, baby Find yourself another man Yeah
