Well, I've been all around this whole wide world
I've been down to sunny Alabam'
And my mama she done told me son
Never let your deal go down

Oh, honey don't let your deal go down
Never let your deal go down
Oh, honey don't let your deal go down
'Til your last gold dollar's gone

Well, 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
Never let your deal go down
Oh, honey don't let your deal go down
'Til your last gold dollar's gone

Well, I'm going down these railroad tracks
I'm gonna take my rocking chair
If these doggone blues don't leave my mind
I'm gonna run away from here

Oh, honey don't let your deal go down
Never let your deal go down
Oh, honey don't let your deal hang down
'Til your last gold dollar's gone
