When I say I'll take all your men and boys to war,
I'm gonna be just like a cone.
When I say I'll take all your men and boys to war,
boy, I'm gonna be just like a cone.
Every morning before the moon go down,
I'm gonna start a tavern for a round and round.
Uncle Sam, leave me alone.
I got the whitey putty women while the other men is gone.
Uncle Sam, leave me alone.
I got the whitey putty women while the other men is gone.
Now, there's one thing I will do, Uncle Sam.
I'll write to him when these women treat me wrong.
I don't want none of these women
starting to fuss and fighting over me,
cause you know Uncle Sam will leave but me one behind.
Don't you women start to fuss and fight over me,
cause Uncle Sam will leave but me one behind.
If
I don't get around to you women in the daytime,
old Booker will be around before the sun go down.
Babe,
I don't want y'all women starting fussing and fighting.
Don't start a fuss and fighting over me.
I don't want none of you women starting fussing and fighting over me.
All I want you to do is let me take my time.
Meet me uptown on a Friday, Saturday, baby.
I'm gonna lay that money down.
I think I'm gonna have to write Uncle Sam,
tell him to send me one or two more men back behind.
I think I'm gonna have to start to write Uncle Sam,
tell him to send one or two more men back behind.
I done got to the place,

I can't even make it around before the sun go down.
Uncle Sam, Uncle Sam,
Uncle Sam
will train me on the track early day.
Uncle Sam train, Uncle Sam train,

I want you women to go down late to the Union Station in the morning.
Me like you be in morning,
