Times are getting hard, boys |
|
Money's getting scarce |
|
If things don't get no better, boys |
|
Gonna leave this place |
|
|
|
Take my true love by the hand |
|
Lead her thru the town |
|
Saying good-bye to everyone |
|
Good-bye to everyone |
|
|
|
Take my bible from the bed |
|
Shotgun from the wall |
|
Take old Sal and hitch her up |
|
The wagon for to haul |
|
|
|
Pile the chairs and beds up high |
|
Let nothing drag the ground |
|
Sal can pull and we can push |
|
We're bound to leave this town |
|
|
|
Made a crop a year ago |
|
It withered to the ground |
|
Tried to get some credit |
|
But the banker turned me down |
|
|
|
But I'm goin' to Californ-i-ay |
|
Where everything is green |
|
Goin' to have the best ole farm |
|
That you have ever seen |
