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)
