Charlie James |
If you see Charlie James comin' down the road |
Say you, please don’t tell him which a-way you see me go |
In the mornin' soon, in the mornin' soon |
Yes, I’m goin' back to Houston1 in the mornin' soon |
Had a whole lotta money one day, one day |
Next day I didn’t have a dime |
Look down the road just as far as I could see |
And I thought I spied my old-time used-to-be |
In a whole lot of trouble one day, one day |
Next day I didn’t know what to do |
Look down the road just as far as I could see |
And I thought I spied my old-time used-to-be |
When a man gets in trouble, everybody throws him down |
A killing for his friends and they won’t come around |
Nobody ever knows you when you’re down and out |
Ask 'em for a favor, they don’t know what’s all about |
Well, you may go, you may try to stay |
But you’ll be back some old rainy day |
