[00:00.14] Come all you good time people
[00:05.09] While I've got money to spend
[00:08.87]
[00:09.04] Tomorrow might be Monday
[00:13.01] And I'll neither have a dollar nor a friend
[00:16.62]
[00:23.02] When I had plenty of money good people
[00:26.87] My friends were all standing around
[00:30.88]
[00:31.07] Just as soon as my pocket book was empty
[00:35.13] Not a friend on earth to be found
[00:38.26]
[00:38.64] Last time I seen my little woman good people
[00:42.87] She had a wine glass in her hand
[00:46.81]
[00:47.31] She was drinking down her troubles
[00:51.16] With a low-down sorry man
[00:54.08]
[01:00.93] Oh my Daddy taught me a plenty good people
[01:05.08] My Mama she taught me more
[01:08.06]
[01:08.95] If I didn't quit my rowdy ways
[01:12.45] Have trouble at my door
[01:15.24]
[01:16.21] I wrote my woman a letter good people
[01:20.65] I told her I was in Jail
[01:23.47]
[01:24.29] She wrote me back an answer
[01:27.86] Sayin' honey I'm a coming go your bail
[01:30.70]
[01:32.43] All around this old jailhouse is haunted good people
[01:36.75] Forty dollars won't pay my fine
[01:39.60]
[01:40.47] Corn whiskey has surrounded my body poor boy
[01:43.95] And pretty woman is troubling my mind
[01:46.88]
[01:48.27] Give me corn bread when I'm hungry good people
[01:52.34] Corn whiskey when I'm dry
[01:54.98]
[01:55.92] Pretty women a-standing around me
[01:59.42] Sweet heaven when I die
[02:02.19]
[02:09.12] If I don't listen to my Mama good people
[02:13.33] I would not be here today
[02:16.09]
[02:17.01] But a drinking and a shooting and a gambling
[02:20.32] At home I cannot stay
[02:23.24]
[02:24.90] Go dig a hole in the meadow good people
[02:27.98]
[02:29.18] Go dig a hole in the ground
[02:31.48]
[02:32.75] Come around all you good people
[02:36.19] And see this poor rounder go down
[02:38.88]
[02:39.83] When I am dead and buried
[02:44.19] My pale face turned to the sun
[02:46.82]
[02:47.72] You can come around and mourn little woman
[02:50.87] And think the way you have done
