Well I've been hangin' out up town, Lordy in that low down rain.
Watchin' good time Charlie, friends, is drivin' me insane.
Up on shady Charlotte Street, Lord the green lights look red
I wish I was back home on the farm, Lordy in my feather bed.

And I got myself a rockin' chair
To see if I can lose,
These thin dime, hard time,
Hell on Church Street blues.

Found myself a paper, friend, and I read yesterday's news
I folded up page twenty-one and I stuck it in my shoes.
I Gave me a nickel to the poor, my good turn for the day,
I folded up my old billfold and I threw it far away.

And I wish I had some guitar strings, Old Black Diamond brand,
I'd string up this old Martin box and go and join some band.
But I guess I'm gonna stay right and a pick and sing a while,
And try to make me a little change and give them folks a smile.
