Lyrics
They found him lying in a pool of whiskey all drunk and tired and all by himself he said "My woman stole all my money. I'm going to break the devil's hide".
The sun was burning too hot for the gypsy. Grab shade in the cypress and kick back a while. Sooner or later it'll be tomorrow. Somehow the hounds will howl. You got to watch that whiskey and that tipsy gypsy. Going to steal your baby and soon your life. He'll come in the night time. Going to get your sweet thing. Them dogs are barking loud. Better run now 'cause the sheriff's coming. He left his woman all by herself. He left his woman in Mississippi. She's going to break the devil's hide.
