Lyrics: You can leave me if you want to, I'm givin' you a break. But don't come back home cryin' over your mistake. *I've got a man in the 'Bama mine. I can spend his dollar, like I can his dime. My man is down in da mine he got a Cadillac 8. And I got the job to keep his business strait. * I got a man in the mine who'll stand right up for me. He rolls my biscuits right just every night for me. * Yes I got a man in the mine, you wimens better try an' get a man like me, He may look dusty when he comes out, but I swear he (knows what it's all about) You let your women fool you and give me the airs. I try to be in reason, now I don't even care. * Go ahead bajingo he don't come no more, The fastest move you make is to dog gone slow. *
