I’m gonna tell my mama when I git home
How people treated me way off from home
Freezin’ ground wus my foldin’ bed las’ night
Got up in the mornin’, couldn’t keep from cryin’
My shoes all wore out
My clothes done tore to pieces
Trouble gonna follow me to my grave
Bad luck in family, sho’ God, fell on me
Ain’t got nuthin’ to eat
Sick all night on de street
