Sittin` here, thousand miles from nowhere In this one room country little shack Sittin` here, thousand miles from nowhereIn this one room country little shack My only worldly possession is a ragged ol` `leven foot cotton sack
I wake up every night `bout midnight People, I just can`t sleep no more I wake up every night `bout midnight People, I just can`t sleep no more Only crickets and frogs to keep me company And the wind howlin` `round my door
I`m gonna leave here early in the mornin` I`m `bout to go out of my mind I`m gonna leave here early in the mornin` I`m `bout to go out of my mind I`m gonna find me some kind of a companion Even if she`s dumb, deaf, cripple and blind
