Feeling low and weary  Lord I got trouble in mind
Feeling low and weary  Lord I got a trouble in mind
Everything's against me   everybody so unkind

Harvest time's coming and will catch me unprepared
Harvest time's coming and will catch me unprepared
Haven't made a dollar  bad luck is all I've had

Lord how can a bear hnow  what will the harvest bring
Lord how can a bear hnow  what will the harvest bring
Burned up all my money and I isn't got a doggone thing

I'm a wary traveler roaming 'round from place to place
I'm a wary traveler roaming 'round from place to place
If I don'tfind something deaath will end me in disgrace

Ain't got no mother 'n' father  left me long ago
Ain't got no mother 'n' father  left me long ago
I'm just like an orphan  where my folks is I don't know

Lookin' around myu shoulder  blues are all around my head
Lookin' around myu shoulder  blues are all around my head
With my heavy burden Lord I wished I was dead
