Work Ox Blues Lyrics

Texas Alexander Work Ox Blues

Mama I ain't going to be your old work ox no more
You done fooled around woman let your ox get gored

She will get up early in the morning just awhile before
day
Then cook your breakfast man rush you away

Come in daddy know my ox is gone
You can never tell when your ox is coming back home

You can never tell what the double‑crossing women will do
Says they will have your buddy then play fake on you
