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.
