Shorty George
 

Well Shorty George : ain't no friend of mine
He keeps a‑taking all the women : keep all the men behind

Lord I went to my captain : and the man he don't care
I'm going to take my woman : bring her right back here

I want to tell you captain : it's a dirty shame
Shorty George got my woman : left me all in vain

Yes I went to the station : looked up on the sign
Lord the train she ride : you marked up on time

Well I can't do nothing : hon' but wave my hands
Got me a lifetime sentence : down in Sugarland

Lordy some has got six months : some got two and three years
But it's so many good men : got lifetime here

And Shorty George : traveling through the land
He don't take your woman : take some woman's man

Got something to tell you : don't let it make you mad
I ain't got long down here : honey you heard I had
