Lyrics

got to get out of this town
gotta hide i can’t be found

don’t wanna end up in the grave
don’t know how to save

i listened to what you say
but that didn’t take the pain away

waited beneath the tree
take me away from the old country

traveled across the sea
ain’t no one in this town but me
no one in this town but me
ain’t no one in this town but me
no one in this town but me

nothin in my clothes but holes
won’t you help me and save my soul

i’m hungry
my poor belly is empty

got to get away from this flood
i covered myself in mud

got to get out of this storm
i spent all day but i couldn’t get warm

i did everything i could
i even chopped the firewood
i even chopped the firewood
i even chopped the firewood
i even chopped the firewood
