Packin' Trunk

Now, this man had a wife 
  And she thought she hasn't gotten 
  Ev' dollar that he had 
  But she was mistakin! 
  He had lots of money when he married her 
  But he's sittin' with his head hung down 
  She walk by an says 
  'Daddy' says, 'What's the matter with you?' 
  And here what he told his wife 

  He said, 'Down here wonderin' 
  Would a matchbox hold my clothes? 
  He said, 'Down you're wonderin' 
  Would a matchbox hold my clothes? 
  He said, 'Down here wonderin' 
  Would a matchbox hold my clothes? 

  She says, 'Daddy, don't be worried like that!' 

  An he walk back tell her again 
  Y'all, what he tol' that gal 

  'I don't wanna be bother 
  No big trunk on my do' 
  I don't wanna be by 
  No big trunk on my do' 
  Don't wanna be by no 
  Big trunk on my do' 

  He sit down and 'gin to think 
  He said, 'I'm goin' out to my friend's house 
  An' see what would he do 
  When his wife packin' up her trunk? 

  He goes to his friends 
  Ya'll, here what he said 

  'Now, what would you do 
  Baby packin' up her trunk?' 
  'What would you do 
  When yo' baby packin' up her trunk?' 
  'What would you do 
  When your gal's packin' up her trunk?' 

  Here's the best advise his friend could give 'em 

  Get ya half a gallon whiskey 
  An get on you a big drunk 
  Get you a half a gallon a whiskey 
  And get on you a big drunk 
  Get you a half a gallon a whiskey 
  And get on you a big drunk 

  She goes on back, again 
  An she looks at him 

  'Lord, have mercy on me 
  Oh Lord, Lord, have mercy on me 
  Oh Lord, Lord, have mercy on me'.
