Honey you don’t know my mind I’m lonesome all the time

Born to lose a drifter that’s me

Heard the music of a rail slept in every old dirty jail

And life’s too short for you to worry me
                                             C
When I find I can’t win I’ll be checking out again

I’ve been a hobo and a tramp my soul has done been stamped

You say I’m sweet and kind I can love you a thousand times

Baby you don’t know my mind today
