"Yes, yes, yes

My best girl quit me and I went back

F#
Now I've got what it takes
D#7
It breaks my heart
G#7
To give it away, ain't going to give it away
C#7
Now babe, the stuff I've got

is the stuff that makes
F#
the fiddlers play,

makes the fiddlers play
A#7
I saved it up : since the Lord knows when
D#7
I ain't playin' Santa Claus for any of you men
G#7
I've had it so long : I hate to lose it
C#7
'cause ever gets broke : I'll be able to use it

F# D#7
Now this little thing is what the whole wide world just
G#7
Dying to get, dying to get
C#7 A#7
This wise baby, she ain't going to part, from it yet

Now if you're layin' in the jail with your head in your arms
G#7
It's then you realize : your sweet mama's gone
