I know you rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone

Gonna miss you daddy a-rolling in your arms

I'm going down the road where I can get more decent care

I'm going down the road where I can get more decent care

Going back to my used to be rider cause I don't feel welcome here

I know my baby sure is bound to love me some

I know my baby sure is bound to love me some

Cause she throws her arms around me like a circle around the sun

I laid down last night trying to take a rest

I laid down last night trying to take a rest

But my mind kept rambling like the wild geese in the West

I'm going down to the river set in my rockin' chair

I'm going down to the river set in my rockin' chair

And if the blues don't find me, gonna rock away from there

Loving you baby just as easy as rolling off a log

Loving you baby just as easy as rolling off a log

But if I can't be your man, I sure ain't gonna be your dog

I will cut your wood baby I will make your fire

I will cut your wood baby I will make your fire

And I will tote your water, baby, from that Fresno Bar

Sun gonna shine in my back yard some day

Sun gonna shine in my back yard some day

And the wind gonna rise up, blow my blues away
