Four in the morning and the water is pouring down
Stove don't work and my baby has just left town
I'm lying on my back 'cause there just ain't nothing to drink
Empty bottles on the floor dirty dishes in the sink
Watching the cockroach crawling in an old bean can
He said when your baby left you I bet it's tough to be a man

Saw her again and she took back all she said
It don't make no difference now 'cause I shot her yes she's dead
Jimmie joe with her legs and knees all bandaged up
He came asking for some money all I had was a buck
Four in the morning and the water is pouring down
