Instrumental [banjo] introduction. 
[Spoken] Hot dog! People, you know, a gentleman asked me last night what I was doing. I said, ’Well, sir, on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, I don’t do anything’. He says, ’Well, what do you do on Thursday, Friday and Saturday?’ I says, ’Why, I rest’. He says, ’You do anything on Sunday?’ ’Oh, yes sir, that’s my busiest day’. He says, ’What are you doing on Sunday?’ I says, ’Getting ready to do nothing on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday’. Ha! Ha! 
I’ll be dogged if I can see, How my little honey got away from me, Been there once, I’m going home, Wouldn’t give me sugar in my coffee-o 
Just one thing that bothers my mind, A world full of women and none of ’em mine Been there once, I’m going home, Wouldn’t give me sugar in my coffee-o 
Well try to look for a needle in the sand, Try to find a woman that’s got no man Been there once, I’m going home, Wouldn’t give me sugar in my coffee-o 
Jaybird sitting on a hickory limb, Picked up brickbat took him on the chin hi-ho mister don’t you do that again, Brother, you’ll kick the bark off a seasoned hickory limb Been there once, I’m going home, Wouldn’t give me sugar in my coffee-o 
Preacher went to Florida, the truth to tell,he went to Miami at a big hotel, He went to the beach and the bathing was fine, Sued for divorce in an hour’s time Been there once, I’m going home, Wouldn’t give me sugar in my coffee-o 
Never you mind what your mammy say, Shake your little foot and sail away, Been there once, I’m going home, Wouldn’t give me sugar in my coffee-o
