Country Blues Lyrics - The Essential Doc Watson - Doc Watson

come all you good time people 

while I've got money to spend 

tomorrow might be Monday 

and I'd neither have a dollar nor a friend 

well I've got plenty of money in my pocket 

my good time friends are around 

but as soon as my pocketbook is empty 

not a friend on this earth can be found 

i wrote my little woman a letter good people 

and i told her i was in jail 

she sent me back an answer 

sayin honey I'm a coming go your bail 

but I'm still walking round 

this old jail house this evening 

forty dollars won't pay my fine 

corn whiskey has surrounded my body poor boy 

and my woman is troubling my mind 

Lord my daddy told me a pretty good people 

and my momma she told me more 

said son if you don't quit your rowdy ways 

you'll have trouble at your door 

if it wasn't for heartaches and trouble good people 

Lord i would not be here today 

i will ramble this whole world over 

at home i cannot stay 

give me corn bread 

on the table when I'm hungry 

something tall and cool when I'm dry 

and a true loving woman to stand by me 

sweet heaven when i die 

go dig a hole in the meadow good people 

make it deep in that cold cold ground 

then gather around all you kind friends 

and see this poor rounder go down 

and when I'm dead and they buried me 

with my pale face turned to the sun 

will you stand around and moan little woman 

and think of the way you have done
