INTRO
No one to love me, no one to care, and the gal I'm loving, she don't play fair
She's gone and left me, I shouldn’t worry, why should I care?
I got a mind to ramble, I got a mind to leave this town
'Cause the girl I've been a-loving, she's gone and throwed me down
How could she leave me, so cold in hand, she give my money, to another man
She's gone and left me, I shouldn’t worry, why should I care?
Good luck is a fortune, mama, and it's bound to come my way
I'm down now, baby, but I will be up someday
She pawned my diamonds, my watch and chain, would've pawned herself but, she felt ashamed
She's gone and left me, I shouldn’t worry, why should I care?
Sometime I wonder, mama, who put the jinx on me
Well, I ain't no bad fellow, and I don't intend to be
She left me sinking, down on my bed, hoping and wishing, that I was dead
She's gone and left me, I shouldn’t worry, why should I care?
Just as sure as you hear, mama, that big boat whistle blow
I'm leavin' your city, mama, and I won't be back no more
