| Traveling around the country
|
| Rambling all the time
|
| Just me and this old guitar
|
| For a dollar and a dime and a glass of wine
|
| Oh lord, won’t you help me before I lose my mind
|
| Got a little woman way back home
|
| You know lord I crave
|
| Spends every dollar that I make
|
| Gonna drive me to my grave, that lonely home
|
| Oh lord won’t you help me before I’m dead and gone
|
| I wish I was down in Nashville town
|
| The sunny south you know
|
| Leaving ol' Chicago
|
| With her ice and stone, chilled to the bone
|
| Oh lord won’t you help me ride this greyhound home
|
| Well, I hope I get to heaven
|
| In mansions bright to dwell
|
| With bad luck always following me around
|
| I’ll fall right back to hell just to shovel coal
|
| Oh lord won’t you help me save my worthless soul
|
| Oh lord won’t you help me, help me before I lose my mind |
