Lord Won't You Help Me         (Norman Blake)


Ramblin' round the country, ramblin' all the time
Playin' this old guitar for a dollar and a dime
and a glass of wine
Lord won't you help me before I lose my mind

Got me a woman way back home, you know Lord, I crave
Spends every dollar that I make, gonna drive me to the grave
My lone home
Lord won't you help me before I'm dead and gone

Headin' down to Nashville town, sunny south Antone
Playin' in old Chicago with it's rain and snow
Chilled to the bone
Lord won't you help me, ride this Greyhound home

Go back into heaven, a mansion bright and well
Half up, always falls me down as life's bad, back to hell
Go shovel the coal
Lord won't you help me save to my worthless soul
