My Baby's Got To Pay The Rent

Well I made my way from Nasheville, the loving of the Georgia pines

Worked my way to Alabam, didn't even make a dime

Well I wish I was right there with you, my brand new shirt and shoes

Talking about our next move, thinking about these blues

Well if I had a thousand dollars, I'd fly home to you take you

To the Suwannee river, take you on a trip for two

But I'm a sad, lonesome rambler

My money's almost spent

Thinking about my baby's forgot to pay the rent

Can't you see that little bird flying from pine to pine

He's mourning for his true love, just like I mourn for mine

Too many motel rooms, from bar to bar I go

Ain't paying a cent here, having a drink before the show

i'm feeling weary, weary to the bone

Everyone looks so cheery, but me I'm all alone

But I'm a sad, lonesome rambler

My money's almost spent

Thinking about my baby's forgot to pay the rent

Walk out on the busy street, no one knows my name

Feel so defeated, everyone acts the same

Well if I had wings I'd fly away home

Just to see my Darling, my Mother, and home
