I'm cold in hand, can't get nothing here
Cold in hand, can't get nothing here
I'm hungry as a hound, I can't travel nowhere
I can't help but to worry how my good friend done
Can't help but to worry how my good friend done
Had my money by the dollar now won't give me nickel one
My Mother told me times and times again
Yes, Mama told me times and times again
Anybody laughs in my face just can't be my friend
Oh, look down on poor me, pity my worried case
Lord, look down on me, pity my worried case
Help me do right once more, I'm gonna change my free-hearted ways
Jes' give me one friend to keep me from feeling so sad
Jes' give me one friend, keep me from feeling so sad
'Cause you know I want a friend like the one what Adam had
