Lyrics:

I used to have a little woman, man, she sure was swell
You know, what was her name, I declared it was poor Verdell

I heard she was in Big Sandy but I'll be there 'fore long
Why don't you stop your foolishness and bring your clothes on home?

Goodbye, everybody, little man, it's fare you well
Goodbye, everybody, little man, it's fare you well
And ev'y time I see you, woman, I think about poor Verdell

B'lieve I love you, babe, and I just can't help myself
I can't get Verdell I don't want nobody else

I got two little children, they don't favor me
I got two little children, they don't favor me
One looks like a Chinaman, the other 'un like a Japanese
