Well i was riding to the city

And my horse broke down, do-dah, do-dah

Blacksmith lived on the other side of town

Oh do-dah day



Well i'm gwan to run all night

Yes i'm gwan to run all day

I think stephen foster was ahead of his time

That's all i've got to say



Well a nickel is a nickel

And a dime is a dime, do-dah, do-dah

You can't make a dollar sittin' down all the time

Oh do-dah day



Well i'm gwan to run all night

Yes i'm gwan to run all day

I think stephen foster was ahead of his time

That's all i've got to say



Well i got to the city

And i went downtown, do-dah, do-dah

Cotton went up and it all came down

Oh do-dah day



Well i'm gwan to run all night

Yes i'm gwan to run all day

I think stephen foster was ahead of his time

That's all i've got to say



I got a room full of people

And a handful of friends, do-dah, do-dah

That's how it goes and that's how it ends

Oh do-dah day



Well i'm gwan to run all night

Yes i'm gwan to run all day

I think stephen foster was ahead of his time

That's all i've got to say
