i Oh, look up and down that long, lonesome road, Hang down your head and cry, my love, Hang down your head and cry.
2 Oh, I wish to the Lord I had never been born, Or died when I was a baby, my love,
Or died when I was a baby.
3 No, I wouldn't be here eatin' this cold corn bread, Or soppin5 in this salty gravy, my love,
Or soppin' in this salty gravy.
4 You caused me to weep, you caused me to mourn, You caused me to leave my home, my love,
You caused me to leave my home.
5 Fll never hold those red rosy cheeks Or hear that flattering tongue, my love, Or hear that flattering tongue.
6 Oh, I wish I had some pretty little girl To tell my secrets to, my love,
To tell my secrets to.
[146] |
