Tarbox Ramblers
Country Blues

transmitted by The Tarbox Ramblers



A song by Dock Boggs,  who made some of the starkest,  weirdest and
greatest music ever.  These are the verses we sing from this song;  the 
version
recorded by Dock Boggs has several others.



Come all you good kind people,  while I have money to spend
Tomorrow might be Monday,  and I'll have not a dollar to spend

When I had plenty of money,  my friends they'd come around
Now my pocketbook is empty,  not a friend on earth to be found

My mama taught me plenty,  people,  my father he told me more
He said  "Son,  if you don't quit your foolish ways,  there'll be danger at 
your door

The last time I seen my woman,  people,  she had a wine glass in her hand
She was drinking down her trouble,  people,  with a low-down sorry man
