Lyrics
0:11Well out of southern illinois
0:15Come a down home country boy
0:18He gonna make it in the city
0:19Playin' guitar in the studio
0:23Well he hadn't been there an hour
0:26When he met a broadway flower
0:29You know she took him for his money
0:31And she left him in a cheap hotel
0:35Well it's easy for you to see
0:38That that country boy was me
0:41Say and how am I gonna ever
0:42Break the news to the folks back home
0:47Well I was gonna be a great success
0:49Things sure ended up a mess
0:53But in the process
0:54I got messed up too
0:58Hello momma and dad I had to call collect
1:01'Cause I ain't got a cent to my name
1:04Well I'm sleepin' in a hotel doorway
1:07And tonight they say it's gonna rain
1:09And if you'd only send me some money
1:13I'll be back on my feet again
1:16Send it in care of the Sunday Mission
1:19Box number ten
1:27Well back in southern illinois
1:30They still worryin' 'bout their boy
1:34But this boy's goin' home
1:35As soon as he gets the fare
1:39Because the minute I got my bread
1:42I got a pipe upside my head
1:45You know they left me in an alley
1:46Took my money and my guitar too
1:50Hello momma and dad I had to call collect
1:54'Cause I ain't got a cent to my name
1:56Well I'm sleepin' in a hotel doorway
1:59And tonight they say it's gonna rain
2:01And if you'd only send me some money
2:05I'll be back on my feet again
2:08Send it in care of the Sunday Mission
2:11Box number ten
