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 curles 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...

[ guitar ]

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...
