I know I've been converted Do you? I know I've been converted Do you? You've got a noose And you'll make me change I'm not afraid to call my savior's name And I know why I've been converted When I was a sinner I didn't know how to pray My words didn't seem to fill Didn't know the words I say Then a voice came from Heaven Said I will show you the way I know I've been converted Do you? I know I've been converted Do you? My mother She taught me how to pray My mother She taught me how to pray And I go pray my soul away Ain't gonna be nobody's fault but mine I know I've been converted I know I've been converted Do you? I know I've been converted I know I've been converted Do you? I took my feet off my red clay Left me standing right on my way I've been converted I know I've been converted I know I've been converted Do you?
Hard time here and everywhere you go Times is harder than ever been before And the people are driftin' from door to door Can't find no heaven, I don't care where they go Hear me tell you people, just before I go These hard times will kill you just dry long so Well, you hear me singin' my lonesome song These hard times can last us so very long If I ever get off this killin' floor I'll never get down this low no more No-no, no-no, I'll never get down this low no more And you say you had money, you better be sure 'Cause these hard times will drive you from door to door Sing this song and I ain't gonna sing no more Sing this song and I ain't gonna sing no more These hard times will drive you from door to door
For a hundred miles A thousand more I'll go I wonder a hundred miles Got a thousand more to go I can't quit my walking It's about the only thing I know Got up this morning Bones are aching and tired Got up this morning My bones are aching and tired A man just looked at me He looked up and smiled Where do I go now? Where do I go now? Where do I go now? Where do I go now? Carry me somebody Cause I don't think I can go myself Carry me, somebody Cause I don't think I can go myself I'll fall down by the wayside Covered in emptiness Tell my family I've been dead and gone Tell my family I been dead and gone Ain't that the way of the pilgrim He's always moving on Where do I go now? Where do I go now? Where do I go now? Where do I go now?
Drive down baby Like showers of rain Can't you hear my fair girl Call my name Can't you hear my fair girl call my name? She calls so loud, it's so plain I walked on down to the station Tears falling down I got some news this morning My baby left town I got some bad news My baby left town She took my money She got my clothes Rolling down the road But I wonder why you go I know your going down the road But I wonder why you go Come on back, won't you love me again Well my rooster crows Down in France Why won't the other guy Lend me another chance? Why won't that guy lend me a chance? Treat me dirty You treat me mean I know you've done me clean Why won't you come back home and Love me again? Come back home, why won't you love me again?
