Croke and Hungry Blues |
| I’m broke and hungry, ragged and dirty too |
| I said I’m broke and hungry, ragged and dirty too |
| Mama, if I clean up, can I go home with you? |
| I’m motherless, fatherless, sister and brotherless too |
| I said I’m motherless, fatherless, sister and brotherless too |
| Reason I’ve tried so hard to make this trip with you |
| You miss me woman, count the days I’m gone |
| You miss me woman, count the days I’m gone |
| I’m goin' away to build me a railroad of my own |
| I feel like jumpin' through a keyhole in your door |
| I said I feel like jumpin' through the keyhole in your door |
| If you jump this time, baby, you won’t jump no more |
| I believe my good gal have found my black cat bone |
| I said I believe my baby have found my black cat bone |
| I can leave Sunday mornin', Monday mornin' I’m slippin' 'round home |
| I wanna show you women what careless love have done |
| I wanna show you women what careless love have done |
| Caused a man like me, steal away from home |
| Girl if you don’t want me, why don’t you let me know? |
| I said, if you don’t want me, mama let me know |
| So I can leave at once and hunt me somewhere else to go |
