Come all you good time people while I have money to spend
For tomorrow might be Monday and I'll neither have a dollar nor a friend
Now when I had plenty of money good people my friends were gathered around
Just as soon as my pocketbook was empty, not a friend on this earth to be found
Well I wrote my woman a letter good people, told her I had landed in jail
She wrote me back her answer saying honey I got no money to go your bail
All around this old jail house is hainted good people, forty dollars won't pay my fine
Corn liquor has surrounded my body, pretty women troubling my mind
Well my daddy taught me plenty good people, but my mama she taught me more
She said son if you don't quit your rough and rowdy ways you'll have trouble at your door
Boys if you don't quit your drinking, someday you're gonna end up like me
You'll slave away all the live long day in a dirty penitentiary
Give me cornbread when I'm hungry good people, corn liquor when I'm dry
Give me pretty women when I'm lonesome, boys, sweet heaven when I die
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow good people, dig it deep in the cold, cold ground
You can gather round all you good time friends and see this old rounder go down
And when I am dead and buried good people with my pale face turned toward the sun
You can stand around little woman and think of what you have done

Saw this guy playing solo, supporting Justin Townes Earle in a pokey pub in downtown Adelaide, & doing most of the songs from this EP. It was a killer set, this guy is a great talent. ian green
This is a wonderful album. It is personal, senitive, and caring. I love to here Sturgill sing, and wish had found him earlier. I thsnk wnku for playing local artists. I lived in Jackson Ky. And know how sad the drugs have made so many hometowns. Keep singing you are great. carolfaulkner
