From - You Don't Mess Around With Jim
8
Well out of Southern Illinois come a down home country boy
9
He gonna make it in the city playin' guitar in the studio
10
Well he hadn't been there an hour, when he met a Broadway flower
11
You know she took him for his money and she left him in a cheap hotel
12
Oh well it's easy for you to see that that country boy is me
13
Say and how am I ever gonna break the news to the folks back home
14
Well I was gonna be a great success
15
Things sure ended up a mess
16
But in the process I got messed up too
17
Chorus:
18
Hello Mamma and Dad I had to call collect
19
'Cause I ain't got a cent to my name
20
Well I'm sleepin' in the hotel doorway
21
And tonight they say it's gonna rain
22
And if you'd only send me some money
23
I'll be back on my feet again
24
Send it in care of the Sunday Mission
25
Box number ten
26
Well back in Southern Illinois they're still worryin' 'bout their boy
27
But this boy's goin' home soon's he get's the fare
28
Because as soon as I got my bread
29
I got a pipe upside my head
30
You know they left me in an alley
31
Took my money and my guitar, too
32
Chorus
