If I send for my baby - and she don't come.
If I send for my baby - man, and she don't come.
All the doctors in Hot Springs sure can't help her none.

And if she gets unruly, things she don't want to do.
And if she gets unruly and thinks she don't want to do.
Take my 32-20 now, and cut her half in two.

She got a .38 special but I believe it's most too light.
She got a .38 special but I believe it's most too light.
I got a 32-20, got to make the camps alright.

If I send for my baby - and she don't come.
If I send for my baby - man, and she don't come.
All the doctors in Hot Springs sure can't help her none.

I'm gonna shoot my pistol, gonna shoot my Gatling gun.
I'm gonna shoot my pistol, got-ta shoot my Gatling gun.
You made me love you - now your man have come.

Ah-oh - baby, where you stay last night?
Ah - baby, where you stayed last night?
You got the hair all tangled and you ain't talking right.

Her .38 special, boys, do it very well.
Her .38 special, boys, it do very well.
I got a 32-20 now, and it's a burning.

If I send for my baby - and she don't come.
If I send for my baby - man, and she don't come.
All the doctors in Wisconsin sure can't help her none.

Hey, hey, baby, where'd you stay last night?
Hey, hey, baby, where'd you stay last night?
You didn't come home until the sun was shining bright.

Ah-oh - boy, I just can't take my rest.
Ah-oh - boy, I just can't take my rest.
With this 32-20 laying up and down my breast.
