City Women - The Grass Roots

You wake up warm from a summer sleep

But those city women get-a up and turn-a on the heat

They just don’t know when to let a man be

Those city women are gonna be the death of me

Now you work all day, and you sweat real hard

But you never earn enough-a for-a them at or on your job

So they want you to go out and rob

Those city women are gonna be the death of me

City women gonna be the death of me, yeah

You know they’re just not happy 'til they see you in misery

So you buy a gun one rainy day

You meet a man-a in an alley and you try to make him pay

But when he tries to run away

Those city women are gonna be the death of me

Now here I am sittin' in the jail

Warden’s gonna come for me 3 o’clock without fail

All because my woman left town with my bail

Those city women are gonna be the death of me

City women gonna be the death of me, yeah

You know they’re just not happy 'til they see you in misery

They’ll be the death of me
