Lyrics:

My, my, my.
Well, I finished fooling 'round with you, pretty mama,
Finished fooling 'round with you.

No more wasting my time, baby, no more standing in line.
And I'm a shiftin' on, back to where I once came from,
Yeah, oh it's been a long.

You know I heard it in the news and it gave me the blues.
You know it ain't right, people are fighting everywhere I look,
People uptight and everywhere.
And I'm shiftin' on, back to where I once came from, yeah.
Ain't no lie, yeah, ain't it too bad, mama?
Too bad you're gonna cry.
Movin' on, oh yeah, now ain't it

Too bad baby, Too bad I'm going to cry.
Wait, well I heard it on the news and it gave me the blues,
You know it ain't right, people are fighting every place I look,
People uptight and everywhere, that's why I'm shiftin' on,
Back to where I once came from,
Lord I tell you no lie,
Ain't it too bad mama, hey, too bad you're going to cry,
Too bad you're going to cry, too bad you're going to cry,
Too bad you're going to cry baby, mm, ain't no lie, ha.
Ah, ah, yeah, that's why I'm shiftin' on,
Back to where I belong, going to leave you to cry.
