DON'T LET YOUR DEAL GO DOWN
I'VE BEEN ALL AROUND THIS WHOLE WIDE WORLD
I'VE BEEN DOWN IN SUNNY ALABAM'
MY MOMMA ALWAYS TOLD ME, "SON,"
SHE SAID, "NEVER LET YOUR DEAL GO DOWN"
CHORUS (after each verse):
OH HONEY, DON'T LET YOUR DEAL GO DOWN
HONEY, DON'T LET YOUR DEAL GO DOWN
DON'T LET YOUR DEAL GO DOWN SWEET MAMA
TILL YOUR LAST DOLLAR IS GONE
THE LAST TIME I SEEN THAT GAL OF MINE
SHE WAS STANDING IN MY DOOR
SHE SAID, "HONEY I'LL BE A LONG TIME GONE
YOU'LL NEVER SEE YOUR GAL NO MORE"
I'M GOING DOWN TO THE RAILROAD TRACKS
AND I'M GOING TO BRING MY ROCKING CHAIR
IF THESE DOGGONE BLUES DON'T LEAVE MY MIND
I'M GOING TO ROCK AWAY FROM HERE
