I Ain't Gonna Work Tomorrow - The Carter Family

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
