Country Blues - Dock Boggs/Paul McCartney (保罗·麦卡特尼)

Written by：Traditional

Come all you good time people

While I've got money to spend

Tomorrow might be monday

And I never have a dollar nor a friend

When I had plenty of money good people

All my friends would gather around

Just soon as my pocket book was empty

Not a friend on earth could be found

The last time I saw my little

Woman good people

Had a wine glass in her hand

She's drinking away all her troubles

With a lowdown sorry man

My dady taught me a plenty good people

My mama hear taught me more

If I don't quit my lowdown rowdy ways

Have a more at my door

I wrote my woman a letter good people

And I told her I was in jail

She wrote me back an answer

Said now honey I'm soon come

And go your bail

All around this old jail house is

Haunted good people

Forty dollars won't pay my fine

Corn liquor surrounds in my body for boy

And pretty women is a troble my mind

Give me corn bread when I'm hungry good people

Corn whiskey when I'm dry

Pretty women a standing around me

Sweet heaven when I die

If I'd a listened to my mama good people

I wouldn't have been here today

But a drinking and a shooting and a gambling

At home I cannot stay

Go dig a hole in the meadow good people

Go dig a hole in the ground

Come around all you good people

And see this poor rounder go down

When I am dead and buried

My pale face turned to the sun

You can come around and mourn little woman

And think the way you have done
