Low Down Rounder Blues

Just a worried old rounder out to trouble someone

Just a worried old rounder out to trouble someone

All bundled up from hardships fates to me have been unkind

I wouldn't listen to my mother wouldn't listen to my dad

I wouldn't listen to my mother wouldn't listen to my dad

And through my reckless living I put myself in bad

I wouldn't listen to nobody I was headlong

I wouldn't hear what nobody said

Mama talked to me all the time but I just wish

I would've listened to her

I don't trust in nobody I'm afraid of myself

I don't trust in nobody I'm afraid of myself

I've been too lowdown liable to put me on the shelf

My friends have turned against me smiling in my face

My friends have turned against me smiling in my face

Since I been so disobedient I must travel in disgrace

I cannot shun the devil he's still right by my side

I cannot shun the devil he's still right by my side

I have no way to cheat him I'm so dissatisfied

Ain't nobody wants me they wouldn't be in my shoes

Ain't nobody wants me they wouldn't be in my shoes

I feel so disgusted I got them low down rounder blues
