Mama told me and my papa told me too
Lord, she ain't no friend for you
Well, my mama, she done told me
If I don't come back by then
A woman that gets in your face
Well, that mean old dirty Frisco
Lord, and they blow back out on me
And that low down Santa Fe
Lord, I won't be back at all
Well, I'm goin' away now, baby
Gonna take my girl away
And my papa told me too
Mean old Frisco and that low down Santa Fe
Mean old Frisco and that low down Santa Fe
And I won't be back until fall
You know they take my girl away
Goin' away, baby, Lord, I won't be back till fall
