[Verse 1]
I just lyin' at your door
And the trouble kept rollin' down
Gotta make it to my
Get to runnin' now
[Verse 2]
Went down long, driven now
I don't know your callin' hound
Well, the long gun make you devil
On my mind
[Verse 3]
And long [?] the road
I don't [?] no travelin' [?]
I'm cryin' now, Lord
At your door
[Chorus 1]
I'm goin' to the nations, I ain't gonna make no talk
Show me the woman anybody can trust
Cause me to weep, cause me to moan
Cause me to leave my home
[Chorus 2]
Ashes to ashes, roll it into dust
Show me that woman anybody can trust
Cause me to weep, cause me to moan
Cause me to leave my home
[Verse 4]
Trouble in your time, hide in your mind
Show me that woman you can trust
I done lied, lied down, my head to the wall
Show me that woman you can trust
[Verse 5]
And the lord is on your side, I'll never get on down
I'll make it to my shanty if I can
If I can, if I can
I'll make it to my shanty if I can
[Verse 6]
Dog is on my track, man is on his horse
Make it to my shanty if I can
If I can, if I can
I'll make it to my shanty if I can
[Verse 7]
Yes, I shoot my [?], I fell upon the floor
I'll make it to my shanty if I can
If I can, if I can
I'll make it to my shanty if I can
[Verse 8]
When I [?] 'round, Lord, I got to go
I'll make it to my shanty if I can
If I can, if I can
I'll make it to my shanty if I can
[Verse 9]
Oh, the Lord say, cryin' at your door
I'll make it to my shanty if I can
I went up on that hill, I gave my horn a blow
I'll make it to my shanty if I can
