I don't know my real name

I don't know when i was born

I don't know my real name

I don't know when i was born

The trouble i've been havin'

Seem like i was raised in an orphan home

My mother died and left me

When i was only two years old

My mother died and left me

When i was only two years old

And the trouble i've been havin'

The good lord, only knows

I been treated like an orphan

And been worked, just like a slave

I been treated just like an orphan

And i've been worked, just like a slave

And if i never get my revenge

Evilness will carry to my grave

Play it one time

Now, i've been havin' trouble

Ever since i've been grown

Now, i've been havin' trouble

Ever since i've been grown

I'm too old for the orphan

And too young for an old folks home

Play it boys, play it, play it

Yes, yes
