Sugar babe, I'm tired of you.

Ain't you, honey, but the way you do.

Sugar babe, it's all over now!

 

Went to town and bought me a rope.

Whupped my babe 'til she Buzzard Lope.

Sugar babe, it's all over now!

 

Went downtown and bought me a line.

Whupped my babe 'til she changed her mind.

Sugar babe, it's all over now!

 

Sugar babe, what I want you to do:

Make five dollars and give me two.

Sugar babe, it's all over now!

 

Sugar babe, what's the matter wit you?

You don't treat me like you used to do.

Sugar babe, it's all over now!
