I Ain't Gonna Work Tomorrow

I'm a'going to leave this country

I a'going around this world

I'm going to leave this country

For the sake of one little girl

Well she told me that she loved me

And it caused my poor heart grief

Now she's got her back turned on me

And she's courting whoever she please

Well I lost my money at gambling

And I lost my name you see

I am nobody's darling

And nobody cares for me

Don't you hear my banjo a'ringing

Don't you hear it's mournful sound

Don't you hear those pretty girls laughing

Standing on the cold frosty ground

Well I'll hang my head in sorrow

I will hang my head and cry

I'll hang my head in sorrow

As my darling passes by

I ain't gonna work tomorrow

And I may not work next day

I ain't gonna work tomorrow

For it be a wet rainy day
