Broke And Hungry

I am broke and hungry

Ragged dirty too

I said, I'm broke and hungry

Ragged dirty too

Mama, if I clean up

Can I go home with you?

I am motherless, fatherless

Sister and brotherless too

I said, I'm motherless, fatherless

Sister and brotherless too

Reason I've tried so hard

To make this trip with you

You miss me woman

Count the days I'm gone

You miss me woman

Count the days I'm gone

I'm gon' away to build me

A railroad of my own

I feel like jumpin' through

A keyhole in your door

I said, i feel like jumpin'

Through the keyhole in your door

If you jump this time, baby

You won't jump no more

I believe my good gal have

Found my black cat bone

I said, I believe my baby has

Found my black cat bone

I can leave Sunday mornin'

Monday mornin' I'm slippin' 'round home

I wanna show you woman

What careless love has done

I wanna show you woman

What careless love has done

Caused a man like me

Steal away from home

Girl, if you don't want me, why

Don't you let me know?

I said, if you don't want me

Mama let me know

So I can leave at once and hunt

Me somewhere else to go
