(Big Bill Broonzy)
Just sittin' here hungry, ain't got a dime
Looks like my friends would come to see me some time
But it won't matter how it happens
The sun gonna shine in my door some day
When I was in jail, expectin' a fine
When I went before that judge, not a friend I could find
But it won't matter how it happens
The sun gonna shine in my door some day
I lost my father, I lost my brother
That's why you hear me singin', I'm lonesome and blue
But it won't matter how it happens
The sun gonna shine in my door someday
Lordy, lordy, lordy, lord, I used to be your reg'lar
Now I got to be your dog
But it won't matter how it happens
The sun gonna shine in my door some day
I'm in trouble, no one to pay my fine
When I get out this time, gonna leave this town flyin'
But it won't matter how it happens
The sun gonna shine in my door some day
I was with my buddy through thick and thin
My buddy got away, and I got in
But it won't matter how it happens
The sun gonna shine in my door some day
