30 days of traveling

In Whitville, Tennessee

Got 3 dollars in my pocket

Got 3 kids to feed



My sign says

I will work for food

My eyes say I'm in

'A working kind of mood



I'm broke, no skill

So hard to live this way

Looking like I do I can't

Seem to get the time of day



9 to 5 at Scotia

Down at the mill

For half as much money

I've seen a better man killed
