Broke and Hungry

I am broke and hungry
                                ragged and dirty too
I said I'm broke and hungry
                                        ragged and dirty too
Mama, if I clean up can
                                I go home with you

I am motherless fatherless
                                    sister- and brotherless too
I say I'm motherless fatherless
                                            sister- and brotherless too
Reason I'm trying so hard to
                                        make the trip with you

You miss me woman
                                count the days I'm gone
You miss me woman
                                count the days I'm gone
I'm going away to build me a
                                        railroad of my own

I feel like jumping through the
                                        keyhole in your door
I say I feel like jumping through the
                                                keyhole in your door
If you jump this time, baby
                                you won't jump no more

I believe my good gal have
                                    found my black cat bone
I say I believe my baby has
                                    found my black cat bone
I can leave Sunday morning
                                    Monday morning I'm slipping 'round home

I want to show you women what
                                            careless love have done
I want to show you women what
                                            careless love have done
Caused a man like me
                            steal 'way away from home

Well if you don't want me why
                                        don't you let me know
I said if you don't want me
                                    mama let me know
For I can leave at once and hunt
                                            me somewhere to go
