Lyrics for I'm Going Upstairs
I'm goin' upstairs, and bring down all of my clothes I'm goin' upstairs, and bring down all of my clothes Where I go baby, you will never know My mother dead and gone, my father don't want me around My mother dead and gone, my father don't want me around Don't you know baby, I ain't got no place to go You know, you know, you don't want me no more (no, you don't) You know, you know, baby, you don't want me no more You can love babe, with your younger stud, baby (Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho) Got a house on the water, you know I don't need no land (have mercy on me) Got a house on the water, you know I don't need no land When I'm dead and gone, bury me in the deep blue sea (Mmm, ho-ho-ho-ho-)
