I want to go home but I ain't got sufficient clothes

Doggone my bad luck soul

I ain't got no money and my job's done closed

I would call that old woman but I'm afraid that she may explode

My wife done quit me, my girlfriend too

Doggone my bad luck soul

I ain't got nobody and I don't know what to do

They say things will get better but I don't believe it's true

I thought I had friends but they all disappeared

Doggone bad luck soul

Everything I do people, everything I do seems to be wrong

It wouldn't be so bad if I knew I had a home
