"Toby" Woman Blues

I've got a woman from Lousiana, she's got long black curly hair
Woman from Lousiana with long black curly hair
Ever since I've been with you, baby,
I haven't had decent clothes to wear

I'm raggedy and hungry, baby, you got a pocket full of gold
Umm, your pocket's full of gold
And I can't leave her, to save my doggone soul

When I first met you, baby, you give me money all the time
Umm, money all the time
Now you've got me fixed, and you won't give me a dime

I tried to leave my baby, a dozen times or more
Tried to leave my baby, dozen times or more
But she's got a hoodoo bag, carries it everywhere she go

I know she carries a toby, she must have it in her shoe
Umm, she's got it in her shoe
She keeps it where it's handy, makes me do like she want me to

I love my baby, just can't help myself
I love my baby, just can't help myself
She put that thing on me, and I don't want no one else
