Well, I've been all around this whole wide world

Been down to sunny Alabama

My mama always told me

"Son never let your deal go down"



Oh honey don't let your deal go down

Don't let your deal go down

Oh honey don't let your deal go down

Till your last gold dollar is gone



Well, the last time I seen that gal of mine

She was standing in the door

She said "Honey I'll be a long time gone

You'll never see your gal no more"



Oh honey don't let your deal go down

Don't let your deal go down

Oh honey don't let your deal go down

Till your last gold dollar is gone



Well, I'm going sown the railroad track

Gonna take my rocking chair

If there doggone blues don't leave my mind

I'm gonna run away from here



Oh honey don't let your deal go down

Don't let your deal go down

Oh honey don't let your deal go down

Till your last gold dollar is gone
