- Matchbox Lyrics / with translationsI been sitting here wondering,
will a matchbox hold my clothes
I been sitting here wondering,
will a matchbox hold my clothes
Ain't got no matches, but I got a long way to go
I'm an old poor boy, ain't got no home
Yes, I'm an old poor boy, and I'm a long,
long, long way from home
Everything I do certainly
turns out mighty wrong
Well, if you don't like my peaches, honey,
please don't shake my tree
If you don't like Jerry's peaches,
don't fool around on his tree
I got news for you, baby,
I'll leave you here in misery
Yes, I'm sitting here wondering,
will a matchbox hold my clothes
Oh! I'm sitting here wondering,
will a matchbox hold my clothes
Ain't got no matches,
but I got a long way to go
will a matchbox hold my clothes
I been sitting here wondering,
will a matchbox hold my clothes
Ain't got no matches, but I got a long way to go
I'm an old poor boy, ain't got no home
Yes, I'm an old poor boy, and I'm a long,
long, long way from home
Everything I do certainly
turns out mighty wrong
Well, if you don't like my peaches, honey,
If you don't like Jerry's peaches,
don't fool around on his tree
I got news for you, baby,
I'll leave you here in misery
Yes, I'm sitting here wondering,
will a matchbox hold my clothes
Oh! I'm sitting here wondering,
will a matchbox hold my clothes
Ain't got no matches,
but I got a long way to go
