Lyrics

Some of these days you're going to miss me, mama Lord when I'm gone

Some of these days you're going to miss me, mama Lord when I'm gone

Now just go ahead and forget it, and try to carry my good works on

Now I'm going away mama, but I'll be back some day soon

Now I'm going away mama, but I'll be back some day soon

Just don't lose your head, let no lowdown rounder have my room

Mama here I am, right back on the job again

Mama here I am, right back on the job again

Says I've had no loving, Lord since God knows when

Now you acted bad, and you didn't obey my rules

Now you acted bad, and you didn't obey my rules

Because I'm back home again, I'm going to take you to a brand new school

Now listen here mama, go ahead and set down and be yourself

Now listen here mama, go ahead and set down and be yourself

But the next time I go strolling, just try to find you someone else
