I'm got to change my way of livin'
This life I'm livin' ain't no good
I'm got to change my way of livin'
This life I'm livin' ain't no good

I leave home in the morning
Don't come back till the break of dawn

My baby said, that ain't right
I'll admit that is true
My baby said, that ain't right
I'll admit that is true

She said, "Daddy, daddy
You got to change the way you do"

You know I leave in the mornin'
And I don't come back till dawn
You know I leave in the mornin'
And I don't come back till dawn

My baby looked me in the eyes and said, "Daddy
You got to change your evil way"
