Country girl, got to keep on keeping on
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn
Country girl, take my hand, lead me through this diseased land
Gotta keep on keeping on
Better go back to your mama, she'll take care of you
Yeah, what can a poor boy do? What can I do?
I have stole, I have sinned, oh, my soul, it's unclean
You better go back to your mama, she'll take care of you
Yeah, what can a poor boy do
Country girl, take my hand, lead me through this diseased land
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn
With you, got the riot city blues
Gotta keep on keeping strong
Country girl, take my hand, lead me through this diseased land
Yeah, what can a poor boy do
Crazy women mess your head
Be careful with your seed, you will reap just what you sow
Lost your wife, lost your son
Better go back to your mama, she'll take care of you
One last time
Country girl, got to keep on keeping on, yeah
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn
Better go back to your mama, she'll take care of you
Wake up drunk and beaten in some strange bed
I have stole, I have sinned, oh, my soul, it's unclean
Country girl, got to keep on keeping on, yeah
Stay out drinking till the morning comes
Gotta keep on keeping on
One thing I have to say before I have to go
I have stole, I have sinned, oh, my soul, it's unclean
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn
Yeah, what can a poor boy do
Country girl, take my hand, lead me through this diseased land
Country girl, got to keep on keeping on
I have stole, I have sinned, oh, my soul, it's unclean
