Broke And Hungry

[Verse 1]
I am broke and hungry, ragged and dirty too
I say I'm broke and hungry, ragged and dirty too
Mama, if I clean up, can I go home with you?

[Verse 2]
I am motherless, fatherless, sister-and-brotherless too
I say I'm motherless, fatherless, sister-and-brotherless too
Reason I've tried so hard to make the trip with you

[Verse 3]
You'll miss me, woman, count the days I'm gone
You'll miss me, woman, count the days I'm gone
I'm goin' away to build me a railroad of my own

[Verse 4]
I feel like jumpin' through the keyhole in your door
I say I feel like jumpin' through the keyhole in your door
If you jump this time, baby, you won't jump no more

[Verse 5]
I believe my good gal has found my black cat bone
I say I believe my baby has found my black cat bone
I can leave Sunday mornin', Monday mornin' I'm slippin' 'round home

[Verse 6]
I wanna show you women what careless love has done
I wanna show you women what careless love has done
Caused a man like me, be way away from home

[Verse 7]
Girl, if you don't want me, why don't you let me know?
I say if you don't want me, mama, let me know
So I can leave at once and hunt me somewhere to go
