If you go out tonight
Take care of my little bit
If you go out tonight
Please take care of my little bit
I don't mean my money
Hoo-hoo-well-well,
I mean take care of it

I don't mind you spendin' money
Buyin' all the drinks in town
I don't mind you spendin' my money
And buyin' all the drinks in town
But if you get drunk
Hoo-hoo-well-well
Come home if you feel like lyin' down

Take care of my little bit
Out of all the gin you drink
Take care of my little bit
Out of all the gin you drink
Because I may get evil, hoo-well-well
And you know, I am born to things

So, when you come home, baby
Please try to come home right
So, when you come home, baby
Please try to come home right
I ain't worried about my money
Hoo-hoo-well-well
But don't stay out all night

Take care of my little bit
'Cause you kind is hard to find
Take care of my little bit
'Cause you kind is hard to find
I can get plenty of it
Hoo-hoo-well-well, but is always the salty kind.
