Broke and lonesome
baby, no place to call my own
I'm broke and lonesome
baby, no place to call my own
you know this california fire
people, took away my happy home
I don't claim to be a rich man
but I worked hard all my life
you know this fire come up the canyon
took my little piece of paradise
broke and lonesome
passed me by first time around
baby just six days later
burned my house right to the ground
you know my blues is getting bluer
people, with every passing day
I just can't help but wonder baby
this I'm gone to pay
oh lord, I'm broke and lonesome
honey no place to call my own
yeah this fire came up the canyon
people, took away my little happay home.
