Lyrics

My man said he didn't want me I'm getting tired of his dirty ways I'm going to see another brown I'm packin' my clothes I'm leavin' town, getting outdoors Lettin' him know and he'll see a hard time Now there's no need of cryin' Just put me off your mind Then you'll see a hard time When your good woman is gone you'll see a hard time (Don't say a word, just listen) The risin' sun ain't gonna set in the east no more The risin' sun ain't gonna set in the east no more 'Cause I'm a good woman, I can get a man any place I go You can say what you please, you will miss me There's a lotsa things you are bound to see When your friends forsake you and your money's gone Then you'll look around all your clothes is gone Down on your knees, you'll ask for me There's no one else you will want to see Then you'll pray a prayer that men pray everywhere, Lord When your good woman is gone When your good woman is gone
