If you wanna go and leave your man

Go on, I’ll understand

But then the night gets dark, all is still

Pray for me, I know you will

Hard row to hoe all by yourself

You hit the city, it swallow you whole

Y’got no friends darlin’, t’satisfy your soul

And then the sidewalk ends, lights all red, y’say t’yourself, y'better off dead

Hard row to hoe all by yourself

Walk out on me, walk out on him

You need no man to do you in

But if the night gets dark, all is still

I'll pray for you, you know I will

Hard row to hoe all by yourself

All by yourself
