Where Women Got Meat On Their Bones (Album Version)

Been workin' the fields most of my life
But one day I decided to leave
I went to New York City
The things I saw
The folks back home
They wouldn't believe
I saw them long-legged women
Looked like skin and bone
Dresses so short
You couldn't tell they had one on

I'm goin' home
Where women got some meat on their bones
I'm goin' home
Where women got some meat on their bones
'Cause there ain't a woman in this town
Big enough to keep me warm

Cats standin' on corners, others in cars
So long they looked like limousines
I heard one say he had to check his trap
By that time my pockets were clean
I couldn't get myself together
No matter how I tried
The women there were too little to bake, broil or fry

I'm goin' home
Where women got some meat on their bones
I'm goin' home
Where women got some meat on their bones
'Cause there ain't a woman in this town
Big enough to keep me warm

I curse the day
I caught that train
That'd taken me away from home
I left a fine young woman
Spent all my money
On nothing but skin and bones
Well I hope it's not too late
'Cause I'm goin' back
I just found out where all the meat is at

I'm goin' home
Where women got some meat on their bones
I'm goin' home
Where women got some meat on their bones
'Cause there ain't a woman in this town
Big enough to keep me warm

I'm goin' back, where all that fat is at
I'm going home
Where women got some meat on their bones
