Well I ain't got nothing
For all this misery
I ain't got nothing
For all this misery
Well I ain't got nothing
For all this misery
If it ain't the devil
The Lord'll set me free

Sure can tell you
I Seen what I seen
Sure can tell you
I seen what I seen
I can tell you
I see what I seen
Would make a good man cripple
It'll make a good man mean

Well I've got trouble
I'm gonna throw it down and go
I've got trouble
I'm gonna throw it down and go
Lord I've got trouble
And I'm gonna throw it down and go
I try to do some praying
The Lord is working much too slow

Staying out here
That's the last thing on my mind
Staying out here
That's the last thing on my mind
I lost my mind
And I done ran out of time

Well I need me a rope
I need shackles on my feet
I need a rope around my neck
I need shackles on my feet
I need a rope
I'm gonna need shackles on my feet
I need somebody
I need somebody near me
I need someone to save my soul's defeat
I need someone to save my soul's defeat
