From - You Don`t Mess Around With Jim
Well out of Southern Illinois come a down home country boy
He gonna make it in the city playin` guitar in the studio
Well he hadn`t been there an hour, when he met a Broadway flower
You know she took him for his money and she left him in a cheap hotel
Oh well it`s easy for you to see that that country boy is me
Say and how am I ever gonna break the news to the folks back home
Well I was gonna be a great success
Things sure ended up a mess
But in the process I got messed up too
Chorus:
Hello Mamma and Dad I had to call collect
`Cause I ain`t got a cent to my name
Well I`m sleepin` in the hotel doorway
And tonight they say it`s gonna rain
And if you`d only send me some money
I`ll be back on my feet again
Send it in care of the Sunday Mission
Box number ten
Well back in Southern Illinois they`re still worryin` `bout their boy
But this boy`s goin` home soon`s he get`s the fare
Because as soon as I got my bread
I got a pipe upside my head
You know they left me in an alley
Took my money and my guitar, too
