[00:18.48] | Well I met him at the courthouse |
[00:28.01] | Playin′ French harp on the steps |
[00:37.51] | And I loved him like a brother |
[00:47.82] | No better friend could any man have |
[00:56.27] | Well his daddy was a rounder |
[01:05.52] | Till he drank his self to death |
[01:15.73] | Left his momma to raise the family |
[01:24.48] | She was working when she drew in her last breath |
[01:30.91] | |
[01:36.36] | People say we′re no count and we′re sorra |
[01:44.40] | But it′s a long hard road we travel on |
[01:54.52] | And we′ll never, never strike it rich |
[02:01.54] | Down in Sugar Ditch |
[02:12.35] | Well he never had no money |
[02:21.97] | And no way to get him none |
[02:31.46] | Just a poor boy going nowhere |
[02:41.63] | Till one morning, morning he was gone |
[02:47.04] | |
[02:50.99] | Well I heard he′s up in Memphis |
[03:00.14] | Everybody knows his name |
[03:10.51] | He broke out of this red dirt prison |
[03:20.78] | And I swear I′ll follow him someday |
[03:31.45] | People say we′re no count and we′re sorra |
[03:39.58] | But it′s a long hard road we travel on |
[03:49.16] | And we′ll never, never strike it rich |
[03:56.95] | Down in Sugar Ditch |
[03:59.07] | |
[04:02.63] | I′m going away, I′m going away |
[04:10.71] | Cause there ain′t no future in this place |
[04:17.33] | I′m going away, I′m going away |
[04:24.60] | Cause there ain′t no future in this place |
[04:30.07] | I′m gonna leave Sugar Ditch |
[04:34.97] | I′m going away |
