Lyrics I Ain’t Gonna Work Tomorrow - Carlene Carter, The Carter Family

I Ain’t Gonna Work Tomorrow

I’m a’going to leave this country
I a’going around this world
I’m going to leave this country
For the sake of one little girl
Well she told me that she loved me
And it caused my poor heart grief
Now she’s got her back turned on me
And she’s courting whoever she please
Well I lost my money at gambling
And I lost my name you see
I am nobody’s darling
And nobody cares for me
Don’t you hear my banjo a’ringing
Don’t you hear it’s mournful sound
Don’t you hear those pretty girls laughing
Standing on the cold frosty ground
Well I’ll hang my head in sorrow
I will hang my head and cry
I’ll hang my head in sorrow
As my darling passes by
I ain’t gonna work tomorrow
And I may not work next day
I ain’t gonna work tomorrow
For it be a wet rainy day
