My Baby's Got To Pay The Rent Lyrics & Chords By The Deep Dark Woods

Well I made my way from Asheville
Livin in the Georgia Pines
Worked my way to Alabama
Didn't even make a dime
Well I wish I was right there with you
In my brand my new shirt and shoes
Talking about our next move
Thinking about these blues
Well if I had a thousand dollars I'd fly home to you
Take you to the smarmy river take you on a trip for two
Well I'm sad lonesome rattled
Money's almost spent
Thinking about my baby
Forgot to pay the rent
Can't you see that little bird flying from pine to pine
He's mourning for his true love just like I mourn for mine
Too many motel rooms from bar to bar I go
Ain't paying a cent here how about a drink before the show
I'm feeling weary weary to the bone
Everyone looks so cheery
Me I'm all alone
Well I'm sad lonesome rattled money's almost spent
Thinking about my baby
Forgot to pay the rent
Walk out on the busy street no one knows my name
Feel so defeated everyone acts the same
Well if I had wings I'd fly away home
Just to see my darling my mother back home
