[Verse 1]
Come on, you good time people
Oh, I've got money to spend
Tomorrow I might need money
And I didn't have a nickel or friend
My daddy taught me plenty, good people
My mama taught me more
And if I didn't quit my rowdy ways
There'd be trouble at my door
[Verse 2]
Well, all around the jailhouse it's raining, good people
And forty dollars won't pay my fine
That good corn liquor's ragged my body
And pretty womens is a-troubling my mind
Give me cornbread when I'm hungry, good people
Corn whiskey when I'm dry
Thirty women all around me
Sweet Heaven when I die
[Outro]
Give me cornbread when I'm hungry, good people
Corn whiskey when I'm dry
Thirty women all around me
Sweet Heaven when I die
Sweet Heaven when I die
Sweet Heaven when I die
