| I’m a poor gal long way from home 'fore
|
| I get to heaven got a way to roam
|
| And when I get there gonna take off my shoes
|
| Got nothin' now & nothin' to lose
|
| All day long you heard me moan
|
| You can tell my friends when I am gone
|
| A dollar for some bacon a nickel for the lard
|
| I’d like to buy some more but times are hard
|
| You work me late, you work me soon
|
| Sometimes you work me by the light of the moon
|
| You work me late, you work me soon
|
| Sometimes you work me by the light of the moon
|
| Going to see my long haired babe
|
| Got her a dress on the last pay day
|
| Gonna treat her nice gonna treat her fine
|
| Gonna take her home on the railroad line
|
| Gonna treat her nice gonna treat her fine
|
| Take her home on the railroad line
|
| You work me late, you work me soon
|
| Sometimes you work me by the light of the moon
|
| You work me late, you work me soon
|
| Sometimes you work me by the light of the moon |
