I was over in Aberdeen 

On my way to New Orlean


I was over in Aberdeen 

On my way to New Orlean 

Them
Aberdeen women told me 

Will buy my gasoline 



Hey, two
little women 

That I ain't ever seen 

They has two little women

That I ain't never seen

These two little women 

Just from New
Orlean



Ooh, sittin' down in Aberdeen

With New Orlean on my
mind

I'm sittin' down in Aberdeen

With New Orlean on my mind

Well, I believe them Aberdeen women

Gonna make me lose my mind,
yeah



(slide guitar & washboard)



Aber-deen is my home


But the mens don't want me around 

Aberdeen is my home 

But
the men don't want me around 

They know I will take these women 

An
take them outta town 



Listen, you Aberdeen women

You know I
ain't got no dime

Oh-oh listen you women

You know'd I ain't got no
dime

They been had the po' boy

All up and down.



(guitar & washboard to end)
