Well, I've been all around this whole wide world

Been down to sunny Alabam

My mama always told me, Son

Never let your deal go down



Don't let your deal go down

Don't let your deal go down

Don't let your deal go down

Till your last gold dollar is gone



Well, the last time I seen that gal of mine

She was standing in the door

She said honey I'll be a long time gone

You'll never see your gal no more



Well, I'm going sown the railroad track

Gonna take my rocking chair

If there doggone blues don't leave my mind

I'm gonna run away from here
