Match Box Blues (80524)

I'm goin' to the river, gonna walk down 'bout the sea

I'm goin' to the river, walk down 'bout the sea

I've caught those tadpoles and minnows arguin' over me

Settin' here wonderin', would a match box hold my clothes

I'm settin' here wonderin', would a match box hold my clothes

I ain't got so many matches but I got so far to go

Lord, mama, who may your manager be?

Hey, hey, mama, who may your manager be?

Reason I ask so many questions, can't you make arrangements for me?

I got a girl cross town, she crochet all the time

I got a girl cross town, crochet all the time

"Baby if you don't quit crocheting, you gonna lose your mind"

I wouldn't mind marryin', but I can't stand settlin' down

I don't mind marryin', but loathe settlin' down

I'm gonna act like a preacher, so I can ride from town to town

I'm leavin' town, cryin' won't make me stay

I'm leavin' town-ee, cryin' won't make me stay

Baby, the more you cry, the further you drive me 'way
