What's Gonna Become of Me

Oh look baby what have I done that caused you to treat me

You cause of me weep and you the cause of me lose my home

Sometimes I wish I had not been born or died when I was young

I never would have kissed your red rosy cheeks or heard you lying tongue

You done told me more lies than the stars in the skies 

And you'll never get to heaven when you die

What's gonna become of me

I feel like jumping, God knows I do, from the treetop to the ground

The one say she love me and done had my child says she don't want me around

Oh Lordy Me, Oh Lordy My, what's gonna become of me

I'm 900 miles from my wife and my child wondering what's gonna become of me

You might as well go get you a hard-shooting pistol and come blow out my brains

I'd rather be dead and in my grave than to be in all the trouble I'm in

I've been a hobo, I've been a bum

If you get some cornbread save me some 

I ain't never never been so hungry in my life

I swear I ain't never never been so hungry in my life

That graveyard you see over yonders hill is a terrible old lonesome place

They lay you down in that cold, cold ground and throw dirt in your face

I done been to the east, they done brought me to the west 

I done been this whole wide world around

That's the only place I have not been, but I'll be there before the sun goes down
