Lyrics:

Four in the morning and the water is pouring down
Stove don't work and my baby has just left town

I'm lying on my back 'cause there just ain't nothing to drink
Empty bottles on the floor and dirty dishes in the sink

Nothing to drink and sun ain't gonna shine
I left my baby 'cause she just wouldn't stop _lyin'____

Well I saw my baby and she took back all she said
It don't make no difference now 'cause I shot them both in bed

Jimmie Joe with her legs and knees all bandaged up
He came asking for some money all I had was a buck

Four in the morning and the water is pouring down
Stove don't work and my baby has just left town

I'm watching the cockroach crawling in an old bean can
He says when your baby left now it's tough to be a man

Four in the morning and the water is pouring down
