Coon Can Blues

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Ramblin', gamblin', Lord, that's what I crave Ramblin', gamblin', Lord, that's what I crave If I don't quit, they'll carry me to my grave [Verse 2] My baby give me some money just to play coon can My baby give me some money just to play coon can I didn't win no money, but I sure Lord played my hand [Verse 3] I'm gonna tell my mama when I go back home I'm gonna tell my mama when I go back home That they win all my money, won't leave my girl alone [Verse 4] I was standin' at the station when the train passed on the fly Standin' at the station when the train passed on the fly Brakeman said, "Hobo, goodbye" [Verse 5] Lord, left here all alone Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, left here all alone Had to take a hollow log and make it my home
