Well, I started to write a letter

No, I believe I'll go back home

Yes, I start to write a letter, baby

No, I believe I'll go back home

After she reads my letter

I believe she'll travel on



I started to cook me a chicken

No, I believe I'll take my rest

I start to cook me a chicken, baby

No, I believe I'll take my rest

Maybe I'll go back an sleep

Maybe I'll dream the things is best



I started to sell my jewelry

No, I believe I'll pawn my clothes

I start to sell my jewelry, baby

No, I believe I'll pawn my clothes

Yes, my watch tics so lonesome

Up an down this lonesome road



I started to break this twenty

No, I believe I'll spend my change

I started to break this twenty, baby

No, I believe I'll spend my change

I started to buy a wood stove

No, I believe I'll fix my reins



(harmonica & instrumental)



I start to say that I'm worried

No, I believe I'm satisfied

I started to say that I'm worried, baby

No, I believe I'm satisfied

I start to walk around the corner

But I believe I'll take a ride.
