Yes, ain't this a pity, people ain't this a cryin' shame
I declare it's a pitty, God knows it's a cryin' shame
The woman waited till it got nine below zero, and put me down for another man


I was giving all money, all of my lovin' and everything
All of my lovin', and all my money and everyting,

yeah it's nine below zero and she done put me down for another man

Nine below zero, the little girl done put me down

Nine below zero, the that fool done put me down
She know I don't have nowhere to stay, because she have messed up my last dime


My eyes got so dim, they seems like a drop of night
eyes got so dim,i've felt like a drop of night
All my money is gone, and the woman don't treat me right


What would you do, tell me what would you do
What would you do, you tell me what would you do

It's nine below zero, look like everybody is through with you
