Dark Clouds A-Rising |
Yeah-eay |
Lord, Lord, ooh, Lord |
Yeah, baby, hey |
Lord, oh Lord |
I saw a dark cloud a-risin' |
Wonder what’s gonna 'come of me? |
I saw a dark cloud a-risin' baby |
I wonder what’s gonna 'come a-me-e? |
Down in this valley |
As lonesome as I can be |
Next time I start out to hoboin' |
With my baby by my side, right here |
Next time I start the hoboin' |
I’m 'onna have my baby by my side |
Yon' box car is bumpin' |
It’s jarrin' at my brains |
Yon' box car is bumpin', baby |
And Lord, be jarrin' my brains |
I might get up in the mo’nin |
I might catch a passenger train |
Yeah, don’t come here runnin' |
Baby, a-screamin' an cryin' |
Don’t ya come here runnin' |
Honey, screamin' an cryin' |
Don’t come here runnin' |
Baby, screamin' an cryin' |
Now, you got a home, darlin' |
Long as I’ve got mine |
I’m goin' by the pawn shop |
'On put my watch in pawn |
I’m goin' by the pawn shop |
I’m-a put my watch in pawn, on my own |
No more, nobody tell me |
How long my baby’s been gone |
(guitar) |
I’m washin' my jumper, darlin' |
Starch my *overhauls |
Hey, wash my jumper, baby |
Starch my overhauls |
I might get up in the mo’nin |
I’m 'on catch that Cannonball |
Hey, hey-ey |
It’s bye-bye, bye-bye, baby |
Hey-ey |
And bye-bye, bye, bye, baby |
I’m goin' away, babe |
But I won’t be gone for long |
Piece workmen outfits as 'overhauls' (real men!) |
Some say, 'overalls') |
