Lyrics

1. lord, I'm broke, I'm hungry, ragged and dirty too
Broke and hungry, ragged and dirty too
If I clean up, sweet momma, can I stay all night with you?

2. lord, I went to my window, babe, I couldn't see through my blinds
Went to my window, babe, I couldn't see through my blinds
Heard my best friend a-comin' and I thought I heard my baby cry

3. lord, if I can't come in here, baby, then just let me sit down in your door
If I can't come in here, baby, then just let me sit down in your door
And I would leave so soon that your man won't never know

4. how can I live here, baby, lord, and feel at ease?
How can I live here, baby, lord, and feel at ease?
Well, that woman I got, man, she does just what she feels

5. lord, you shouldn't mistreat me, baby, because I'm young and wild
Shouldn't mistreat me, baby, because I'm young and wild
You must always remember, baby, you was once a child

6. 'cause I'm leaving in the morning, if I have to ride the blinds
Leaving in the morning, if I have to ride the blinds
Well, I been mistreated and I swear I don't mind dyin'
