Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, I woke up this mornin', it was drizzlin' rain
Around the curve come a passenger train
Heard somebody yodel and a hobo moan
Jimmy, he's dead, he's been a long time gone
Been a long time gone
He been a long time gone
[Verse 2]
Well, if you wanna get to Heaven, gotta D-I-E
You gotta put on your coat and T-I-E
Wanna get the rabbit out of the L-O-G
You gotta make a cold motion like a D-O-G
Like a D-O-G
D-O-G
[Refrain]
Let's go!
[Verse 3]
Well, I got a good woman, what's the matter with me?
What makes me wanna love every woman I see?
I was trifling when I met her now I'm trifling again
And every woman she sees looks like the place I came in
Like the place I came in
Place I came in
[Verse 4]
Well, I got my name painted on my shirt
I ain't no ordinary dude, I don't have to work
I don't have to work
We don't have to work
You know
Aw, let's do some work, boys
