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