If you see Charlie James comin' down the road |
|
Say you, please don't tell him which a-way you see me go |
|
In the mornin' soon, in the mornin' soon |
|
Yes, I'm goin' back to Houston1 in the mornin' soon |
|
Had a whole lotta money one day, one day |
|
Next day I didn't have a dime |
|
Look down the road just as far as I could see |
|
And I thought I spied my old-time used-to-be |
|
In a whole lot of trouble one day, one day |
|
Next day I didn't know what to do |
|
Look down the road just as far as I could see |
|
And I thought I spied my old-time used-to-be |
|
When a man gets in trouble, everybody throws him down |
|
A killing for his friends and they won't come around |
|
Nobody ever knows you when you're down and out |
|
Ask 'em for a favor, they don't know what's all about |
|
Well, you may go, you may try to stay |
|
But you'll be back some old rainy day |
