Song Lyrics

Yes I'm goin', yes I'm goin'
Long and travelled make me stay
Lord the boy that you travellin'
Fully you drive me away
For you drive me away
For you drive me away

Yes I's went down
Was a catfish
Swim and drown em all, deep blue sea
I've had all of these, good lookin' women
Now boys thinkin'out for me, thinkin'out for me
thinkin'out for me, thinkin'out for me

Yes I'm goin', yes I'm goin'
And you're trying lord, make me stay
Yes the more that you try little women
The more you drive me away
Fully you drive me away, for you drive me away
For you drive me away, for you drive me away
For you drive me away

Yeah can I, come to your house baby?
Yeah let's sit down, on your step
If I can't come in little women,
Then I'm on your step, then I'm on your step
Then I'm on your step, then I'm on your step

Mmmm, mmmm
Tried make me stay
You know you done me wrong once young women
Trust your love no more
Don't trust your love no more
Trust your love no more, your love no more …
