Lyrics Tangle Eye Blues - Alan Lomax

Well I wonder will I ever get back home
Well it must have been the devil that fooled me here
I'm all down and out

Lord if I ever get back home, I'll never do wrong
Well if I can just make it home I won't do wrong no more
Lord I won't do wrong no more

Lord I left Mae-Willie and the baby in the courthouse crying:
"Daddy please don't go"
Lord I'll be back home soon
Lord I'll be home one day 'fore long - just wait for me

Lord I've been here rolling for this day so long
Lord I'm all down and out...
My friends won't come see lord what's done happened to me
Lord if I'd listened to what my dear old mother said
Well she's dead and gone

Oh, she's dead and gone
What am I gonna do now?
