INTRO
Early one morning, I set down in my door
I says, early one morning, I set down in my door
Lord, I was sittin' here, wond'in', "Where in the world can a good man go?"
I hear my rider holl'in', 'way up on the hill
Said, I hear my rider holl'in', 'way up on the hill
Said, I know it's my rider, got a voice like a whip-poor-will
SOLO
I'll get your ticket, gon' send you away from here
I'm gon' get your ticket, gon' send you all away from here
Lord, and if you never come back, Lord, I will never care
I'm gon' write my name up on my baby's back door
I'm gonna write my name up on my baby's back door
So she can see my name if she never sees me no more
