Classic Poem

When I was in Missouri, would not let me be
When I was in Missouri, would not let me be
Wouldn't rest content, till I came to Tennessee

If you follow me baby, I'll turn your money green
Follow me baby, I'll turn your money green
I show you more money, Rockefeller ever seen

If the river was whiskey, baby and I was a duck
River was whiskey, baby and I was a duck
I'd dive to the bottom, and I never would come up

Woman I hate, I see her every day
Woman I hate, I see her every day
But the woman I love, she's so far away

Talk about sweetheart , and I declare I'm a honest man
Talk about sweetheart , and I declare I'm a honest man
Give my woman money, broke her apron string

All she gimme was trouble, trouble all the time
All she gimme was trouble, trouble all the time
I been troubled so long, trouble don't worry my mind

I been down so long, till it seem like up to me
I been down so long, seem like up to me
Woman I love, heart like a rock in the sea

I would holler murder, but this freakin ' town too small
I would holler murder, but this freakin too small
Woman quit me, throwed my trunk outdoors
