Me old my lady sittin' in the shade
Talkin' about the money that I ain't made
Singin' whoa boy don'tcha line the track-a-lack-a
Whoa boy, don'tcha line the track
Whoa boy, don'tcha line the track-a-lack-a
Whoa boy, don'tcha line the track

If I could, I surely would
Stand on the rock that Moses stood
singin' whoa boy don'tcha line the track-a-lack-a
Whoa boy, don'tcha line the track
Whoa boy, don'tcha line the track-a-lack-a
Whoa boy, don'tcha line the track

Drank so much hooch
It made my eyes be gettin' blurry
They say I nailed her to the wall
A stich in time don't mean a thing
No hangman jury could make me crawl
Cause I'm a poor boy
Don'tcha line the track-a-lack-a
Whoa boy, don'tcha line the track-a-lack-a
Whoa boy, don'tcha line the track

Whatcha do with the gun that's loaded
Shot her dead when your heart exploded
Tell me baby now d-don't you worry
Like lying to a hangman jury

I swear I didn't know that 45 was loaded
In fact my memory ain't too clear
That's not to say she didn't get what she deserved
Least that's the way it looks from here
Boy when you line the track-a-lack-a
Hey boy, when line the track-a-lack-a
Hey boy, when line the track

Ooh, when love come tumblin' down
Ooh, when love come tumblin' down
Ooh, let's get outta here
When love come tumblin'

And every night she take her thing into the city
And in the mornin' make me beg
'Cause if I'd taken all her real titty gritty
I'd smack her right upside the head boy
Don'tcha line the track-a-lack-a
Hey boy, don'tcha line the track-a-lack-a
Hey boy, don'tcha line the track

Ooh, when love come tumblin' down
Ooh, when love come tumblin' down
Ooh, love come tumblin'

Poor boy sweatin' in the hot summer night
Hangman waitin' for the early morning light
Singin' hey boy, don'tcha line the track-a-lack-a
Hey boy, don'tcha line the track
Hey boy, don'tcha line the track-a-lack-a
Hey boy, don'tcha line the track

If I could, I surely would
Stand on the rock that Moses done stood
Singin' hey boy, don'tcha line the track-a-lack-a
Hey boy, don'tcha line the track
Hey boy, don'tcha line the track-a-lack-a
Hey boy, don'tcha line the track
