One of these old days I'm gonna lay me down By the river, babe, on the lonesome ground By the river, babe, on the lonesome ground Let that cold water roll me 'round and 'round Let that cold water roll me 'round and 'round Lord knows I tried to get along with you But you had better things, better things to do You had better things, better things to do Than try to love someone who don't love you Than try to love someone who don't love you I got a wandering soul takes me down the line Ain't got a nickel, babe, ain't got a lousy dime Ain't got a nickel, babe, ain't got a lousy dime Lord, I got plenty of these hard times Lord, I got plenty of these hard times In the maddening crowd nobody knows me A stranger's face on everyone I see A stranger's face on everyone I see And miles and miles to go before I sleep Miles and miles to go before I sleep
