Your mother's gone a'whoring, a'whoring
Your mother's gone a'whoring, son
And I think she shant be back
Why's she gone a'whoring, a'whoring
Why's she gone a'whorin, Pa?
And what is in that sack?
She left us late last evening, last evening
She left us late last evening, son
'Ere the rising of the moon
I followed her last evening, last evening
I followed her last evening, son
And caught her with a coon
You caught her with a nigra, a nigra
You caught her with a nigra, Pa?
Pa, what did you do?
I watched them for awhile, awhile
I watched them for awhile, son
Until that buck was through
How long did you watch them, watch them
How long did you watch them, Pa?
Until the deed was done?
I watched them 'til the mornin', the mornin'
I watched them 'til the 'mornin', boy
O'er the barrel of my gun
Your mother went a'whoring, a'whoring
Your mother went a'whoring, child
And she will not be back
Why'd she go a'whoring, a'whoring
Why'd she go a'whoring, Pa?
Pa, don't untie that sack!!
