Honey you don't know my mind
I'm lonesome all the time
Born to lose a drifter that's me
You say I'm sweet and kind
I can love you a thousand times
Baby you don't know my mind today
Hear the music on a rail
I'm sleeping in a dirty jail
And life's too short for you to worry me
When I find that I can't win
I'll be checking out again
Baby you don't know my mind today
I've been a hobo and a tramp
My soul has done been stamped
Lord, things I know I've learned the hard, hard way
I ain't here to judge or plea
But give my poor heart ease
Baby, you don't know my mind today
Baby, you don't know my mind today
