I'm [A] on by [E] the bulldogs, I'm on Chapel to Greyhound,
Gonna use [Am] these dogs, [E] run [Em] my good [E] gal down.
Gonna use these dogs, [Em] just to watch [D] me [G] while I sleep [D] well,
Just to keep [Am] them men [E] from making that early grief.
[A]
I was standing [E] down in Richmond, on [D] a corner there,
Brought in Maine, I walked to [Am] Pauley, [E] said,
Son, what is your [A] right name?
Then I told him [E] that my name is stamped [D] on my shirt,
I'm a one [Am]-fo' lover, [E] sure ain't got to work.
[A] My little gal [E] went away, didn't even write [D] me up,
Got my mind all [E] worried like Ward in a [A] DVD.
Then I'm going [E] uptown, [Em] I'm gonna [D] talk with that chief police,
That little gal in trouble, [E] sure can't find no peace.

It's as true [E] as birds, [G] you know, [D] flocking skies above,
You know, life where you live, [E] it ain't for the ones you love.
[A] Then I wrote him [E] one line, and I [D] laid that pencil down up,
My [Am] heart struck sorrow, [E] tears come [A] rolling down.
Now, uh-huh, [E] uh-huh, you know [D] dogging [G] ain't [D] right up,
Now you gonna dog me, [E] I'll run both day [A] and night.
Now, uh-huh, [E] uh-huh, [Em] I'll [D]
call, I'll shut up,
No two [Am] men loving you, [E] one of us has got [A] to go.
Then I feel [E] like snapping [G] my [D] pistol in your face up,
Now in some [E] graveyard, be [A] your rest and play.

Like flat [Am] stone, you back [E] throw mud all in [A] your face.
Now I'm gonna drink [E] muddy water, [Em] I'll sleep [D] in a hollow log,
Ain't gonna see [E] you woman treated like [A] a dog.
That's why I was standing [E] down in Richmond,
On that corner [D] there, brought in Maine,
I walked to police, [E] son, [A] what is your right?
