Now I've been all around this whole wide world

Down to Memphis, Tennessee

Any old place I hang my hat

Looks like home to me

Now I left my little girl crying

Standing in the door

Throwed her arms around my neck

Saying 'Honey, don't you go'

Now I've been all around this whole wide world

Done most everything

I've played cards with the King and the Queen

Discard the ace and the ten

Oh it's don't let your deal go down

Don't let your deal go down

Don't let your deal go down

Before my last gold dollar is gone

Now where did you get them high top shoes?

Dress you wear so fine?

Got my shoes from a railroad man

And my dress from a driver in the mine

Who's gonna shoe your pretty white feet?

Who's gonna glove your hand?

Who's gonna kiss your lily white cheeks?

Who's gonna be your man?

Now Papa may shoe my pretty white feet

Mama can glove my hand

She can kiss my lily white cheeks

'Till you come back again
