Worked all the Summer, and all the Fall Now I gotta take Christmas, now, in my overhalls But bye and bye, I'll overcome some sweet day Goin' up the country, won't be back 'til Fall Times get no better I won't be back at all But bye and bye, I'll overcome some sweet day You treat me like, didn't know my name You mistreat me, now, for another man But bye and bye, I'll overcome some sweet day My baby quit me, didn't say a word 'Twas on account of something that she heard But bye and bye, I'll overcome some sweet day When I had money, I had a friend Ain't got no money, ain't, ain't got no friend But bye and bye, I'll overcome some sweet day Take one more drink, make me tell it all Somebody stole my little all-in-all But bye and bye, I'll overcome some sweet day
