Have Mercy On My Soul! |
When my first wife left me, boy |
Put me out on the highway |
When my first wife left me, left me |
Put me out on the highway |
And ever since that day |
My life ain’t been the same to me no more |
I had a good girl |
Good as she could be |
I had a good girl, good girl |
Good as she could be |
But the reason that she left me |
I wanted every women that I seen, yes I did |
Watch this now: |
I’ve been drinkin' and gamblin', drinkin' and gamblin' |
Ever since my wife been gone |
Drinkin' and gamblin', drinkin' and gamblin' |
Ever since my wife been gone |
I found the highway |
The highway have been my home |
Look at here now: |
I’m sitting down thinking this morning |
'bout my wife and child |
I’m sitting down thinking this morning |
Boy, 'bout my wife and child |
I wanna go back home so bad |
And tell her I just don’t know what to do |
I left my wife and my baby |
My baby girl was only 4 days old |
I left my wife and my baby |
And my little girl was only 4 days old |
And don’t you know boy just one thing |
Lord just keeps on worrying me, yes he do |
Look at here what I’m holding: |
I hope my little baby girl haven’t learned to count on a man deading |
And boy that keeps on worryin' me |
Just one thing hurt me so badly |
That keeps on worryin' me |
I hope my little baby girl haven’t learned to count on a man deading |
And Lord and that’s what keep on worryin' me |
I wanna go back home |
I wanna go back home so bad |
I wanna go back home |
I wanna go back home so bad |
I wanna get my wife and my baby back again |
I wanna go back home to stay, yes yeah |
And then I said to my wife |
I said «Baby! |
I ain’t no go drinkin' and gamblin' no more» |
I said «Baby, baby! |
Drikin' and gamblin' |
Drinkin' and gamblin' no more» |
I was dead home with you baby |
Live like a madman should |
I said «Baby! |
I teach my little baby girl, teach her, teach her |
How to call me daddy one more time |
Baby teach my little baby girl |
To call me daddy just one more time |
I been gone so long, so long |
And she forgot my name |
Please teach her |
How to call me daddy one more time |
Please teach her |
That I’m her daddy |
Baby…" |
