Jones, Oh, Jones, boy, you know you can't last long, Jones, Oh, Jones, you better bring my woman back home. 'Cause I tried a little gal by the name of Sue, I took her home with me but that gal, she wouldn't do, Tried another gal by the name of May, Took her home with me but that gal, she wouldn't stay, Tried another gal by the name of Minnie, She couldn't love one man because she loves a-plenty, Jones had told me, [doc?] he was my personal pal, That son-of-a-bum went and stole away my gal, I even take him to my place, give him room to stay, But that son-of-a-bum took my gal and run away, I'm running up and down the town, looking for that bum, If I ever meet you, Jones, I'm going to give the buzzards fun, Got the [?] with me, the undertaker, too- Here's a student doctor offered me money for you, I'm going to keep you for myself, keep you dead and buried, Gonna dig you up for fun, sit down and watch the buzzards pick the meat off your bones, Gonna hire my weddin' butcher, chop you through and through, chop you into pieces just big enough for stewin' , And when I get through, everbody's going to moan, Jones, Oh, Jones.
