She said I’m going to Poughkeepsie,
Going to Poughkeepsie,
Going to Poughkeepsie,
Going to Poughkeepsie,
Going to Poughkeepsie,
And I ain’t taking you.
Oh, baby, baby, baby,
Whatcha gonna do?
Oh, baby, baby, baby,
Whatcha gonna do?
Pretty baby, don’t leave me here,
With these back-woods blues.
Going to Poughkeepsie
Going to Poughkeepsie
Going to Poughkeepsie
Going to Poughkeepsie
She said I’m going to Poughkeepsie
And I ain’t taking you.
Oh baby if you leave me
I’ll cry all day and night,
Baby if you leave me,
I’ll cry all day and night.
She said I’m going to Poughkeepsie
Find a man who treats me right.
Going to Poughkeepsie
Going to Poughkeepsie
Going to Poughkeepsie
Going to Poughkeepsie
She said I’m going to Poughkeepsie
And I ain’t taking you.
Baby if you leave me,
It’s bound to ruin my health.
Baby if you leave me,
It’s bound to ruin my health.
She said I’m going to Poughkeepsie,
You can go and fuck yourself.
