[Verse 1]
I'm goin' upstairs
And bring down all my clothes
I'm goin' upstairs
And bring down all my clothes
Where I'll go
You'll never know
[Dobro Solo]
[Verse 2]
My mama dead and gone
My father don't want me around
My mama dead and gone, leave us
My father don't want me around
Don't you know, baby?
I ain't got no place to go
[Dobro Solo]
[Verse 3]
You know I'm gettin' old
You don't want me no more
You know I'm gettin' old, baby
You don't love me no more
You done let me be, baby
For a younger stud
[Verse 4]
Gotta have some water
You know I don't need no land
Gotta have some water, baby
You know I don't need no land
When I'm dead and gone
Bury me in the deep blue sea
[Outro]
