Bindled
I laid my Bindle down boys
Laid my Bindle down
Don’t know where it is boys
Looked all over town
Jolly found my Bindle boys
Found it in Mary’s bed
Don’t know when or where boys
But, I’m as good as dead
Jolly don’t stand no trash boys
He don’t stand no trash
Mary told him loud boys
Told him in a flash
I see him round the bend boys
See him round the bend
Say you’ll look me up boys
I know this is my end
My body’s in the grave boys
Body’s in the grave
Molding while you play boys
Hope you can behave
