I wore my forty four so long, made my shoulder sore
Well I'm goin' down in the valley, well I might leave for home - ??

Well I'm so mad this morning, don't know where in the world to go 
I'm so mad this morning, don't know where in the world to go
I've got to find me some money, cause I got's to go - ??

I do believe, I believe I hear that forty four whistle blow
I do believe, I believe I hear that forty four whistle blow
?? - ain't gonna get no more
