Darlin'

If I'd a-known my captain was blind, darlin', darlin'
If I'd a-known my captain was blind, darlin', darlin'
If I'd a-known my captain was blind,
Wouldna gone to work 'til half past nine, darlin', darlin'

I asked my captain for the time of day, darlin', darlin',
I asked my captain for the time of day, darlin', darlin',
I asked my captain for the time of day
He got so mad he threw his watch away, darlin', darlin' .

Fight my captain and I'll land in jail, darlin', darlin',
Fight my captain and I'll land in jail, darlin', darlin',
Fight my captain and I'll land in jail,
Nobody 'round to go my bail, darlin', darlin'.

Told my captain he don't know my mind, darlin', darlin',
Told my captain he don't know my mind, darlin', darlin',
Told my captain he don't know my mind,
I'm a-laughin' just to keep from cryin', darlin', darlin'.

If I'd done like mama said, darlin', darlin',
If I'd done like mama said, darlin', darlin',
If I'd done like mama said,
I'd be home in mama's bed, darlin', darlin'.
