Classic Poem

Now I tell you mama now
I'm sure gonna leave this town
Now I tell you mama now
I'm sure gonna leave this town
'Cause I been in trouble ever since I
sot my suitcase down

Now you don't b'lieve I'm leaving
just watch the train I'm on
Now you don't b'lieve I'm leaving
just watch the train I'm on
And you don't b'lieve I'm looking
just count the days I'm gone

Now I ain't gonna be your
your teasing brown no more
I mean I ain't gonna be your
teasing brown no more
Sugar, the way you do me, you
make my blood run cold

Now 'fore I stay here mama 'n'
be treated this-a-way
Mama 'fore I stay here now and
be treated this-a-way
Now I'll let some freight train
throw me every day

Mmm lord oh lord oh
oh lord oh lord oh lord
Mmm lord oh lord oh
oh lord oh lord oh lord
Now the woman I'm loving, she
treat me like a mangy dog

Now lookee yonder sugar where the
rising sun done gone
Mmm lookee yonder sugar where the
rising sun done gone
I believe I will leave here mama
a long way from my home
