Classic Poem

I want to go home and I ain't got sufficient
clothes doggone my bad luck soul
I want to go home and I ain't got sufficient clothes
I mean sufficient — talking 'bout clothes — well I want to go
home and I ain't got
sufficient clothes

I bet my money and I lost it lord it's
oh doggone my bad luck soul
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm lost a great big roll
I mean lost it — speaking about dough — now
I'll never bet on
this old trey game no more

Oh my big gal has gone why don't you quit crying
doggone my bad luck soul
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm why don't you quit crying
Why don't you quit — I mean crying —
that joker stole off
with that long-haired brown of mine

Sister you catch the Katy, I'll catch that Santy Fee
doggone my bad luck soul
Sister you catch that Katy and I'll: catch that Santy Fee
I mean Santy — speaking about Fee — when you
get in Denver
pretty mama look around for me

The woman I love why she's five feet from the ground
doggone my bad luck soul
Hehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh five feet from the ground
Five feet from the — I mean ground —
she's a tailor made woman
she ain't no hand me down

I ain't seen my sugar in two long weeks today
doggone my bad luck soul, I ain't
Seen my sugar in two long weeks today
Two long weeks to — I mean day —
girl it's been so long seems like my
heart gonna break

I'm gonna run 'cross town catch that southbound Santy Fee
doggone my bad luck soul
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm lord that Santy Fee
I mean Santy — singing about Fee —
be on my way to what you call
loving Tennessee
