If you see Charlie James walkin' down the road
Please don't tell him which way you see me go
Had a whole lotta trouble
since I saw you left
I don't know my future
I don't wanna see my past
Had a whole lotta money
One day, one day
Very next day I did not have a dime.
Lookin' on down the road as far as I could see
Thought I saw my old-time used-to-be
In a whole lot of trouble one day, one day
Next day I didn't know what to do
Lookin' on down the road as far as I could see
Thought I saw my old-time used-to-be
If you see Charlie James walkin' down the road
Please don't tell him which way you see me go
Please don't tell him which way you see me go
These lines were deleted from original lyrics:
When a man gets in trouble, everybody throws him down
A killing for his friends and they won't come around
Nobody ever knows you when you're down and out
Ask 'em for a favor, they don't know what's all about
Well, you may go, you may try to stay
But you'll be back some old rainy day
