Lord I walked all night long with my forty four in my hand
Lord I walked all night long with my forty four in my hand

I was looking for my woman and I found her with another man

Tonight my baby said she heard the forty four whistle blow
Lord, my baby said she heard the forty four whistle blow

Well and it sounds just like ain't gonna blow that whistle no more
Lord I've got a little cabin and in my cabin I own a forty four

When I wake up every morning, the world's knocking on my door
