Well I want you to come in here, woman
Sit down on your daddy's knee
I've got something I want to tell you, woman
You know it's worrying me
Well I'm going away to leave you, woman
But I'll be back before long
Well I'm gonna have to leave you, woman
You can count the days that I'm gone
Well I'm going down to Texas, woman
Gonna hear my wild ox moan
Well, I'm going out to find him, woman
I'm bound to drive him on home
Well I want you to come in here, woman
Sit down on your daddy's knee
I've got something I want to tell you, woman
You know it's worrying me
Well I'm going away to leave you, woman
But I'll be back before long
I don't want you to sit and cry, woman
Your daddy is coming on home
