Quit Your Lowdown Ways

Well, you can read out your Bible
You can fall down on your knees
And pray to the Lord, pretty mama
But it ain't gonna do no good

You're gonna need
You're gonna need my help someday
If you can't quit your sinnin'
Please quit your lowdown ways

I've been look all over for a girl like you
Can't find no one nowhere, no how
Pretty mama do you'd have to do

You're gonna need
You're gonna need my help someday, my help someday
If you can't quit your sinnin'
Please quit your lowdown ways

When I woke up this morning and look out my door
I can tell my milk cow, pretty mama, by the way she look
If you see my milk cow, Lord, Lord drive her home
I ain't had no milk and butter since my cow been gone
Better now you need to run down home, miles around
I know you've been with another man, in another man's house
And another man's hometown

You're gonna need
You're gonna need my help someday, my help someday
If you can't quit your sinnin'
Please quit your lowdown ways

Oh, you can read out your hymn book
You can fall down on your knees
And pray to the Lord, pretty mama
But it ain't gonna do no good

You're gonna need
You're gonna need my help someday
If you can't quit your sinnin'
Please quit your lowdown ways
