Don't ease, don't ease, Don't ease me in.

I've been all night long comin' home, Don't ease me in.

I was standin' on the corner, talkin' to Miss Brown, I turned around sweet mama, she was way across town

The girl I love, she's sweet and true, And the dress she wears, sweet mama, it's pink and blue,

So I'm walkin' down the street with a dollar in my hand, I've been lookin' for a woman, sweet mama, ain't got no man.

She brings me coffee, she brings me tea, She brings me 'bout every damm thing but the jailhouse keys
