Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Show me a woman that a man can trust
Snakes on the desert and fish in the sea
A rattlesnake mama made a sucker out of me

O tell me how long must I have to wait?
Can I get you now or must I hesitate?

Bacon to bacon and beans to beans
I got a cornbread mama in New Orleans
Turtles in the rivers, alligators in the swamp
A Louisiana mama keeps a man on the jump

O tell me how long must I have to wait...

It's beer to beer and ale to ale
I got a L.A. mama in the Frisco Jail
Gold in the mountains, copper in the hills
They caught my gal with a forty gallon still

O tell me how long must I have to wait...

Ham to ham and eggs to eggs
If I don't get a pension I'll have to beg
There's a lot of crooked politician men;
It would be all right if it wasn't for them
