Struck Sorrow Blues

I'm goin' away, honey, don't you want to go?
I'm goin' away, babe, don't you want to go?
I'm gonna stop at a place I haven't ever been before

I ain't got no wife, I ain't got no child at school
I ain't got no wife, and I ain't got no child at school
Reason I'm hangin' around here, man, I'm stickin' here dry long so

If you've got a sweet woman, you better love her while you can
If you've got a sweet woman, you better love her while you can
For your heart'll strike sorrow when I come back to town again

I lied down last night, rolled from side to side
I lied down last night, rolled from side to side
Sugar, the blues ain't on me but things ain't goin' on right

I drink so much whiskey, stagger all in my sleep
I drink so much whiskey, I stagger all in my sleep
Well, that brown 'cross town, I declare she is worryin' me

I believe I'll sing this song, ain't gonna sing no more
Believe I'll sing this song, and I ain't gonna sing no more
Fixin' to leave town and hang crepe on your door
