[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
