You won't have no man at all

Baby, If I had wings like a bullfrog on a pond
Lord, If I just had wings, mama
Like a bullfrog on a pond

And lie in sweet mama's arms

Runnin' for a solid mile
Said, the blues just a rabbit
Runnin' for a solid mile

And he sat right down and cried

You know my plan need a future
My old time used to be
