[Verse 1]
You wake up warm from a summer sleep
But those city women get-a up and turn-a on the heat
Just don't know to let a man be
Those city women are gonna be the death of me

[Verse 2]
You work all day, and you sweat real hard
But you never earn enough-a for-a them at on your job
Oh, they want you to go out and rob
Those city women are gonna be the death of me

[Chorus]
City women gonna be the death of me, yeah
You know they're just not happy 'til they see you in misery

[Verse 3]
You buy a gun one rainy day
You meet a man-a in an alley, and you try to make him pay
But when he tries to run away
Those city women are gonna be the death of me

[Verse 4]
Now, here I am sittin' in the jail
Warden's gonna come for me 3 o'clock without fail
All because my woman left town with my bail
Those city women are gonna be the death of me
[Chorus]
City women gonna be the death of me, yeah
You know they're just not happy 'til they see you in misery

[Outro]
They'll be the death of me
