Lord my mother she done told me and my father done told 
me                       
My father told me too, yeah my mother she done told me                       
And my father done told me, my father told me too, it's a mean old town to live 
in by yourself                       
Yeah, work for a dollar or several thousand, could not save a 
dime                       
You know I worked for a dollar, or several thousand, man couldn't save a 
dime                       
Ain't nobody worried and there isn't nobody's crying                       
Yeah, I got my hands outside to get a hold on, try to get some of my 
cash                       
Lord I try to get my hands outside to get a hold on, try to get some of my 
cash                       
It's those great big smiles to keep us out of that trash                       
So I packed up my suitcase and I move on down, hit that lonesome 
road                       
You know I packed up my suitcase and I hit that lonesome, move on 
down                       
I'm still crying to make it when the day was done
