Lord, go on 'n tell me!
What's a man to do?
In this doggone hell,
You done put me through,
Lord, go on 'n tell me!
What’s a man to do?
Preacher done told me,
When I was young,
Give unto the poor,
Just like Jesus done,
But the church done take my dollar,
Government done take my dime,
And me I got a nickel and it ain’t even mine!
So Lord, go on 'n tell me!
What’s a man to do?
Now I'm a rover, I'm a rambler,
And a broke down gambler,
I used to want to be a preacher too,
But I ain't got nothing left,
Lord, Lord, Lord now to give on,
To give on back to you!
So go on now tell me!
What's a man to do?
