The Carter Family - Roots of Country

I Ain't Goin' to Work Tomorrow

I'm a-going to leave this country
I'm a-going around this world
I'm a-going to leave this country
For the sake of one little girl

Well, she told me that she loved me
And it give my poor heart grief
And she's got her back turned on me
She's courting whoever she please

Well, I lost my money in gambling
And I lost my name, you see
I am nobody's darling
And nobody cares for me

Don't you hear my banjo ringing
Don't you hear this mournful sound
Don't you hear those pretty girls laughing
Standing on the cold, cold ground

I'll hang my head in sorrow
I'll hang my head and cry
I'll hang my head in sorrow
As my darling passes by

Well, I ain't going to work tomorrow
And I may not work next day
I ain't going to work tomorrow
For it be a wet, rainy day
