| [00:12.14] |
Well, out of Southern Illinois |
| [00:15.25] |
Come a down home country boy |
| [00:18.25] |
He gonna make it in the city |
| [00:19.69] |
Playin' guitar in the studio |
| [00:24.20] |
Oh well, he hadn't been there an hour |
| [00:27.10] |
When he met a Broadway flower |
| [00:30.10] |
You know she took him for his money |
| [00:31.80] |
And she left him in a cheap hotel |
| [00:35.59] |
Oh well, it's easy for you to see |
| [00:38.42] |
That that country boy is me |
| [00:41.52] |
Say and how am I ever gonna break the news |
| [00:43.32] |
To the folks back home |
| [00:47.40] |
Well, I was gonna be a great success |
| [00:50.10] |
Things sure ended up a mess |
| [00:53.73] |
But in the process I got messed up too |
| [00:58.70] |
But hello Mama and Dad I had to call collect |
| [01:01.75] |
'Cause I ain't got a cent to my name |
| [01:04.78] |
Well, I'm sleepin' in the hotel doorway |
| [01:07.71] |
And tonight they say it's gonna rain |
| [01:10.21] |
And if you'd only send me some money |
| [01:13.42] |
Oh, I'll be back on my feet again |
| [01:16.66] |
Send it in care of the Sunday Mission |
| [01:19.58] |
Box number ten |
| [01:28.50] |
Well back in Southern Illinois |
| [01:30.84] |
They're still worryin' 'bout their boy |
| [01:34.50] |
But this boy's goin' home |
| [01:36.58] |
Soon as he gets the fare |
| [01:39.62] |
Because as soon as I got my bread |
| [01:42.47] |
I got a pipe upside my head |
| [01:45.47] |
You know they left me in an alley |
| [01:47.50] |
Took my money and my guitar, too |
| [01:50.98] |
And hello Mama and Dad I had to call collect |
| [01:54.20] |
'Cause I ain't got a cent to my name |
| [01:56.98] |
Well, I'm sleepin' in the hotel doorway |
| [01:59.78] |
And tonight they say it's gonna rain |
| [02:02.23] |
And if you'd only send me some money |
| [02:05.73] |
Oh, I'll be back on my feet again |
| [02:08.77] |
Send it in care of the Sunday Mission |
| [02:11.66] |
Box number ten |
