Lyrics

Ain't a-gonna dig no ginseng
Well I ain't a-gonna hunt no crow
Ain't a-gonna do a doggone thing
But love my dear sweet mama
You can't read my mind
When you think I'm loving you,mama
I'm quittin' you all the time
Yo-dee-o-del-lay-hee-hee-hee
Yo-lee-o-lay-hee-hee
Yo-yo-de-lay-hee-hee
Yo-del-lay-hee
My home ain't here
It’s down in Caroline
I got two chil'ren down in Georgie
But they sure ain't mine, sweet mama
You can't read my mind
When you think I'm loving you, mama
I’m quittin' you all the time
Yo-dee-o-del-lay-hee-hee-hee
Yo-lee-o-lay-hee-hee
Yo-yo-de-lay-hee-hee
Yo-del-lay-hee
I got a girl in Georgie
One in Dixie, too
If you treat me mean, sweet mama
Turn my back on you, good baby
You can’t read my mind
When you think I’m loving you, mama
I’m quittin' you all the time
Yo-dee-o-del-lay-hee-hee-hee
Yo-lee-o-lay-hee-hee
Yo-yo-de-lay-hee-hee
Yo-del-lay-hee
Well, I ain’t a-gonna work no tin post
Well, I ain’t a-gonna load no coal
Put my head out the window
Watch the drums roll, sweet mama
You can’t read my mind
When you think I’m loving you, mama
I’m quittin' you all the time
Yo-dee-o-del-lay-hee-hee-hee
Yo-lee-o-lay-hee-hee
Yo-yo-de-lay-hee-hee
Yo-del-lay-hee
