Moses Andrew Jackson Goodbye 1906

I'm weary of my troubles
and I'm tired of my woes,
I'm packing up my furniture
and tying up my clothes;
I've tried my best to please you
but it really seems no use,
For the way you're acting lately
why there's really no excuse;
There's just as good goods in the store
as any ever bought,
There's just as good fish in the sea
as any ever caught;
I'm goin' to get my fishing line
so don't commence to row,
I'm agoin' to hook another home
so let me tell you now.

Goodbye, you good for nothing Andy,
Goodbye you're goin' to lose your Mandy;
I just know you like a book,
From now on man, you are shook;
Get somebody else to wash and cook;
So long, it's time I must be going,
Farewell, I hear the whistle blowing.
You've been mighty mean to me
and as we never can agree,
So Moses Andrew Jackson, Goodbye.

Goodbye, you good for nothing Andy,
Goodbye you're goin' to lose your Mandy;
I just know you like a book,
From now on man, you are shook;
Get somebody else to wash and cook;
So long, it's time I must be going,
Farewell, I hear the whistle blowing.
You've been mighty mean to me
and as we never can agree,
So Moses Andrew Jackson, Goodbye.

For you I took in washing
and my life I did insure,
And also I told fortunes
and I learned to manicure;
And as a female barber
I worked norning, night and noon,
Still you never did respect me
like as honest loving coon;
From loafing 'round a marble yard,
you got a marble heart;
At night you'll never see me home
you'll always see me start;
I had my palm read yesterday
and though it may sound queer
The palmist man said: "Gal,
I think you're goin' away from here."

Goodbye, you good for nothing Andy,
Goodbye you're goin' to lose your Mandy;
I just know you like a book,
From now on man, you are shook;
Get somebody else to wash and cook;
So long, it's time I must be going,
Farewell, I hear the whistle blowing.
You've been mighty mean to me
and as we never can agree,
So Moses Andrew Jackson, Goodbye.

Goodbye, you good for nothing Andy,
Goodbye you're goin' to lose your Mandy;
I just know you like a book,
From now on man, you are shook;
Get somebody else to wash and cook;
So long, it's time I must be going,
Farewell, I hear the whistle blowing.
You've been mighty mean to me
and as we never can agree,
So Moses Andrew Jackson, Goodbye.
