This very mornin', long time ago Um-hm-well-well Been a long time ago Well now I got in trouble Ooo-well, brown babe now I've gotta go on
I gotta leave here Now I can't stay here no mo' Ooo-hoo-well-well Said I can't stay here no mo' Well now trouble now have got me Hm-hm-well now, an I gotta go on
Ain't it hard to have a home An you can't go there no mo'? Now ain't it hard to have a home An you can't go there no mo'? Well, but now I've gotta travel on Ooo-well brown babe, now an I got to go

Well, when I got up this mornin' Babe I walked out in the street I tell ya, I got up this mornin' Mama, I walked out in the street Ah, you know I met a man, hoo-well brown An he's got a razor in both his hands
Well now you know about the reason I'm away from home today Um-hm-well, now that's the reason I'm away from home today Well-well-well, 'till my bailiff caught me Ooo-well-brown, now I be away today.
