It's the last fair deal goin' down,
last fair deal goin' down
It's the last fair deal goin' down, good Lord,
on that Gulfport Island Road1

Ida Belle, don't you cry this time
Ida Belle, don't you cry this time
If you cry about a nickel, you'll die 'bout a dime
I wouldn't cry, but the money it ain't mine

My captain 's so mean on me
My captain's so mean on me
My captain's so mean on me, good Lord,
on that Gulfport Island Road

Workin' my way back home
Workin' my way back home
I'm workin' my way back home, good Lord,
on that Gulfport Island Road

It's the last fair deal goin' down, last fair deal goin' 
down
It's the last fair deal goin' down, good Lord,
on that Gulfport Island Road
On that Gulfport Island Road
On that Gulfport Island
