This very mornin’, long time ago
Um-hm-well-well
Been a long time ago
Well now I got in trouble
Ooo-well, brown babe now I’ve gotta go on
I gotta leave here
Now I can’t stay here no mo’
Ooo-hoo-well-well
Said I can’t stay here no mo’
Well now trouble now have got me
Hm-hm-well now, an I gotta go on
Ain’t it hard to have a home
An you can’t go there no mo’?
Now ain’t it hard to have a home
An you can’t go there no mo’?
Well, but now I’ve gotta travel on
Ooo-well brown babe, now an I got to go
(guitar)
Well, when I got up this mornin’
Babe I walked out in the street
I tell ya, I got up this mornin’
Mama, I walked out in the street
Ah, you know I met a man, hoo-well brown
An he’s got a razor in both his hands
Well now you know about the reason
I’m away from home today
Um-hm-well, now that’s the reason
I’m away from home today
Well-well-well, ‘till my bailiff caught me
Ooo-well-brown, now I be away today.
