I'M Looking For A Woman Who Knows How To Treat Me Right

I'm lookin' for a woman nowadays
That knows how to treat me right
I have never been married
And I don't know what's a wife
Oh baby, don't you dance so light
I know you're sittin' stout all night

I'm lookin' for a woman nowadays
Knows how to treat me right

Now can you people find me a woman nowadays
That knows how to treat me right?
I don't know nothin'
And I don't believe in stayin' away from home all night
Now mama, don't you dance so rough
I know you're sittin' such and such

Can you find me a woman nowadays
Knows how to treat me right?

I went out yesterday evening
I called myself out visitin'
A lady had invited me over to dinner
Now I'm gonna tell you people just what she had on her table

She had turnip greens, turnip greens
It's something that I don't eat
Turnip greens, turnip greens
Walk around the corner, you'll meet
You'll meet cabbage and cornbread and buttermilk too
Ain't no tellin' what a woman won't do
Turnip greens, turnip greens
Something that I do eat

Oh mama, don't you dance so light
Fixin' to slip off and stay out all night
I'm lookin' for me a woman nowadays
Knows how to treat me right

Now I'm goin' get me a woman too
That really knows how to treat me right
I'm a man with a family
And I swear I ain't gonna stay away from home all night
Oh mama, don't you dance so rough
I know you're fixin' to cut yourself

I'm lookin' for me a woman nowadays
Knows how to treat me right
I mean, knows how to treat me right
