I've been all around this whole wide world
Even to sailed the seven seas
Any old place I hang my head is home sweet home to me
Don't let your deal go down mama said
Don't let your deal go down
Don't let your deal go down
Mama told till your last dollar is gone

I met a girl with pretty golden curls
She loved me every way but loose
She took my heart broke it all apart
I went wild as the goose
Don't let your deal go down

If you see me at your front door with the 38 in my hand
Tell all the world I killed myself
You were lovin' another man
Don't let your deal go down
