He come like he never come before. Oh, he come like he never come before. He come like he never come before. Come down with a forty link of chain. Come down with a forty link of chain. Come down with a forty link of chain. Oh, honey, do you love of me? Oh, honey, do you love of me? Oh, honey, do you love of me? If you do, come tell me goodbye. If you do, come tell me goodbye.
