lyrics

Well I woke up late
And I missed my chance
But I looked back for a second glance
The windmill spun and made you dance
Uh huh

Now it’s your love
That I can see
And now I hear a jamboree
Shake it up baby
Just like sugaree

In these hard hard times
Life’s deep and dark like
An old coal mine
I burn both ends
But I still can’t shine

And in these hard hard times
They box me in like an old caged lion
Got more fences than a county line
Uh huh

Well she runs so swift if you catch my drift
The waitress came and you leave her a tip
You shut your mouth
Don’t give me no lip
Uh huh

And the river rolled
And the sky grew cold
Time passed by and we grew old
I guess the rest just shouldn’t be told
Uh huh
