I ain't gonna tell nobody
'34 have done for me
I ain't gonna tell nobody
What '34 have done for me
Took my roller
I was broke as I could be
They run me from Will Dockery's
Willie Brown, I want your job
They run me from Will Dockery's
Willie Brown, I want your job
(Buddy, what's the matter?)
I went out and told Papa Charley
"I don't want you hangin'
'Round on my job no more"
Fella, down in the country
It almost make you cry
Fella, down in the country
It almost make you cry
(My God, children)
Women and children flaggin'
Freight trains for rides
Carmen got a little six Buick
Big six Chevrolet car
Carmen got a little six Buick
Little six Chevrolet car
(My God, what solid power)
And it don't do nothin' but
Follow behind Holloway's farmer's plow
And it may bring sorrow
Lord, it may bring tears
It may bring sorrow
Lord, and it may bring tears
Oh, Lord, oh, Lord
Let me see your brand new year
