Chalk My Toy

When I first left the country, I was four thousand dollars strong
When I first left the country, I was four thousand dollars strong
I met a downtown woman, my money didn't stay with me long

I was so country, until her husband, he put me nixed
I was so country, until her husband, he put me nixed
I had so many fives, tens and twenties,
until he called her cousin, Elizabeth

Floating all my money, went home and found my baby gone
Floating all my money, went home and found my baby gone
Asked my kidgirl for a salt pork
sammich, she said, "61, it ain't nobody home."

I know why that happened, my friend-boy, he shared the news
Talkin' about Bubba
I know why that happened, Bubba, he carried the news
Say, I didn't buy nothin' with my money but a
cowhide jumper and a pair of them Bulldog special shoes

I will admit I been misused, by being a country boy
I will admit I been misused, by being a country boy
But someday you're going to regret it, when I learn to chalk my toy
