Lord I´m broke, I´m hungry, ragged and dirty too
Broke and hungry, ragged and dirty too
If I clean up sweet mama
Can I stay all night with you?
Lord, I went to my window, babe I couldn´t see through my blinds
Went to my window, babe I couldn´t see through my blinds
Heard my best friend coming around
I thought I heard my baby cry
Lord, if I can´t come in here, baby then just let me sit down in your door
If I can´t come in here baby then just let me sit down in your door
And I would leave so soon
That your man won´t never know
How can I live here baby, Lord and feel at ease ?
How can I live here baby, Lord and feel at ease ?
Well, that woman I got, man
She do just what she please
Lord you shouldn´t mistreat me, baby because I´m young and wild
Shouldn´t mistreat me, baby, because I´m young and wild
You must always remember
Baby, you was once a child
´Cause I´m leaving in the morning, if I have to ride the blind
Leaving in the morning, if I have to ride the blinds
Well, I´ve been mistreated
And I swear, I don´t mind dyin´
