You might have seen me underneath the pool-hall lights Well baby, I go back each night If you got a throat, I got a knife Steady rollin' and I keep goin' And I don't mind how quick the seasons change You know too me there's everyone the same The sweetest sunshine drips the drain And it's comin' and I'm still runnin' Well, I come from the old time, baby Too late for you to save me If I remain then I'm to blame But if you should ever need me I'll go where you lead me It's all the same The same old game My love and baby, she's a ball and chain I still can travel but my speed is changed I bring the money, I take the blame Steady rollin' and I keep goin' But I shot my wife today Dropped her body in the Frisco Bay I had no choice, it was the only way And it's comin' and I'm still runnin' Well, I come from the old time, baby Too late for you to save me If I remain then I'm to blame But if you should ever need me I'll go where you lead me It's all the same The same old game Out waltzing with the holy ghost From the Bowery to the Barbary coast The land I'm from you know I love the most Steady rollin' and I keep goin' And every day is just another town The more I search and though the less I found Me I'm a sucker just a slave to sound And it's comin and I'm still runnin' Well, I come from the old time, baby Where all the kids are crazy If I remain then I'm to blame But if you should ever need me I'll go where you lead me It's all the same The same old game
