[00:08.02] ?Come all you good time people
[00:12.63] While I've got money to spend
[00:16.61] Tomorrow might be Monday
[00:20.45] And I'd neither have a dollar nor a friend
[00:24.63] Well I've got plenty of money in my pocket
[00:29.11] My good time friends are around
[00:32.73] But as soon as my pocketbook is empty
[00:37.32] Not a friend on this earth can be found
[00:41.25] I wrote my little woman a letter good people
[00:45.77] And I told her I was in jail
[00:49.86] She sent me back an answer
[00:54.24] Sayin honey I'm a coming go your bail
[00:58.13] But I'm still walking round
[00:59.65] This old jail house this evening
[01:02.91] Forty dollars won't pay my fine
[01:06.69] Corn whiskey has surrounded my body poor boy
[01:11.00] And my woman is troubling my mind
[01:21.96]
[01:30.28] Lord my daddy told me a pretty good people
[01:35.12] And my momma she told me more
[01:38.75] Said son if you don't quit your rowdy ways
[01:43.22] You'll have trouble at your door
[01:46.98] If it wasn't for heartaches and trouble good people
[01:51.83] Lord i would not be here today
[01:56.19] I will ramble this whole world over
[02:00.10] At home I cannot stay
[02:03.74] Give me corn bread
[02:05.14] On the table when I'm hungry
[02:08.63] Something tall and cool when I'm dry
[02:12.41] And a true loving woman to stand by me
[02:16.73] Sweet heaven when I die
[02:27.73]
[02:37.11] Go dig a hole in the meadow good people
[02:41.59] Make it deep in that cold cold ground
[02:45.74] Then gather around all you kind friends
[02:50.01] And see this poor rounder go down
[02:53.64] And when I'm dead and they buried me
[02:58.66] With my pale face turned to the sun
[03:02.30] Will you stand around and moan little woman
[03:06.97] And think of the way you have done
[03:10.86]
