Now you ran 'round baby,
Lord, in your V8 Ford
I was thinkin' 'bout you mama,
when you drove me from your door
But I'll get a break,
yeah, somewhere,
mama 'fore long
When I had money,
had friends from miles around
Broke, wet and hungry,
none of my friends can be found
But I'll get a break,
yeah, somewhere,
mama 'fore long
When I was sick baby,
Lord, down in my bed
T.V. was on,
and I heard the people say
But I'll get a break,
yeah, somewhere,
mama 'fore long
Mississippi river,
Lord, so deep and wide
Woman that I'm lovin',
she's on the other side
But I'll get a break,
yeah, somewhere,
mama 'fore long
Ain't no use in cryin',
no use in wearin' black
Nobody Charlie,
cryin' won't bring her back
But I'll get a break,
yeah, somewhere,
mama 'fore long
