LYRICS

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
