Oh, I asked her for water, she brought me gasoline 
Oh, I asked her for water, she brought me gasoline 
That's the troublingest woo-hoo ( 
woman? 
), that I ever seen 
The church bell tollin', the hearse come driving slow 
The church bell tollin', the hearse come driving slow 
I hope my baby, don't leave me no more 
Oh tell me baby, when are you coming back home? 
Oh tell me baby, when are you coming back home? 
You know I love you baby, but you've been gone too long
