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, and it's fare you well
Goodbye everybody, little man, and it's fare you well
And every time I see you, woman, I think about poor Verdell
Believe I love you, babe, and I just can't help myself
I can't get a 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
