He said, "I'm gon' carry all you women
And I'm bound to take all you men"

He sent his partner to call the wagon

I hollered back to my friends, says
"Boys, don't let that happen to you"
We played cards all night, boys, how did we roll them bones

There was no use a-worryin', we know we couldn't get back home

They come and got us the next mornin'
Carried us to Jet Plane Street Station too
They come and got us the next mornin', they
Carried us to Jet Plane Street Station too
When we got down in the basement, we was handcuffed two by two

Then they carried us before the judge
He said, "I'm gon' give you a break and let you go"

You gotta stay away from them moonshine
Parties and drunk food, cook for me no more"
