Lyrics

When I was down in Georgia: I was doing mighty well
Since I been here in Chicago: I been catching a plenty
hell
Says I’m going down to the station: ain’t going to take
no one’s advice
Says I’m going back to Georgia: where I can get my red
beans and rice
Now these Chicago women: have give me such a hard way to go Says they done took all my black money: and they got me running from door to door
Now I been setting here looking: way down that lonesome
road
Says I’m raggedy and I’m hungry: and I ain’t got no place to go Now I been rolling: I been rolling from sun to sun
Says I got where I can’t get no loving: not until my payday comes
