I wanna go home

And I ain't got sufficient clothes

Doggone my bad luck soul

Wanna go home

And I ain't got sufficient clothes

I mean sufficient talking about clothes

Well I wanna go home

But I ain't got sufficient clothes

I bet my money and I lost it Lord it's so

Doggone my bad luck soul

Mmm lost it ain't it so

I mean lost it speakin' about so now

I'll never bet

On the deuce-trey-queen no more

Mama I can't gamble son

Why don't you quit tryin'

Doggone my bad luck soul

Mmm why don't you quit tryin'

Why don't you quit I mean tryin'

That joker stole off with

That long-haired brown of mine

Sugar you catch the Katy

I'll catch that Santa Fe

Doggone my bad luck soul

Sugar you catch that Katy

And I'll catch that Santa Fe

I mean the Santy speakin' about Fe

When you get in Denver

Pretty mama look around for me

The woman I love's 'bout five feet from the ground

Doggone my bad luck soul

Hey five feet from the ground

Five feet from the I mean ground

She's a tailor-made woman

She ain't no hand-me-down

I ain't seen my sugar in three long weeks today

Doggone my bad luck soul

I ain't seen my sugar three long weeks today

Three long weeks to I mean day girl

It's been so long

Seems like my heart's gonn' break

I'm gonna run 'cross town

Catch that southbound Santa Fe

Doggone my bad luck soul

Mmm Lord that Santa Fe

I mean the Santy speakin' about Fe

Be on my way to

What they call lovin' Tennessee
