Baby, I been workin' all this blasted year
Baby, I been workin', all this blasted year
I want to go home, ain't got no shoes to wear
But the times so hard, can't get no work to do
Times so hard, can't get no work to do
And my hard luck, mama, because I ain't got no shoes
I'm gwanna set right down, hang my head and cry
I'm gwanna set right down, hang my head and cry
I feel just like I could lay right down and die
Sugar, I will never be contented chere (sic)*
Sugar, I will never be contented chere
I am stone barefooted, ain't got no shoes to wear
My coat all busted, my pants all full of holes
My coat done busted, my pants all full of holes
Barefooted, hungry and raggedy, doggone my hard luck soul
- chere=here
