My mama dead, Lord

Papa can't be found

My mama dead an, Lord

Papa can't be found

I ain't got me nobody

Throw my arms around

Yon' come the devil, we gonna

Set this town on fire

Yon' come the devil

Gonna start this town on fire

'llow me a chance comes up

Until I bid this town, goodbye

I got ways like a devil

Sleep in the lion's den

I got ways like a devil

Sleep in a lion's den

Doggin' fer 'em, steal to get 'em

Bought her ticket in

Let me tell you, mama

What you said last night

Lay down on my bedside

Try to treat me right

Lord, I'm goin up the country

But cryin won't make me stay

I'm goin up the country

Cryin' won't make me stay

More you cry

The further I'll ride away.
