Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well tell me mama what am I to do There's just no gettin' next to you I ain't lookin' for a big gold mine I just want to make you mine [Verse 2] Well tell me pretty sugar where did I go wrong I wake up in the mornin' and I sing this song I've been a good man all my day Tryin' to do like the good book say [Chorus] Although it may get heavy Further on up the line I'm much stronger than that levee And I think you'd find [Verse 3] This silver city is the place to be That's what a pretty little girl told me Rich men dance on the parlor floor Poor folk lookin' in through the door [Chorus] Although it may get heavy Further on down the road I'm much stronger than the levee I'm about to let it show [Verse 4] Well tell me darlin' what do I do now Just can't get behind this mule and plow I don't need no big gold mine I just want to make you mine
