As the Clock Struck Four

歌詞

As my baby woke me one morning, now the clock was strikin' four My baby woke me one morning, now the clock was strikin' four She said if you can't give me no money, Daddy I sure will have to go And I walked the streets until my shoe soles got as thin as a dime And I walked the streets until my shoe soles got as thin as a dime Tryin' to find some money for my baby, but I can't find a lousy dime I said if you call this leavin', your daddy wants you to take every rag If you call this leavin', your daddy wants you to take every rag I see your clothes hangin' round here when you're gone, It will make your daddy feel so bad I found myself standing on the corner, oh by the curbin' stone I found myself standing on the corner, and by the curbin' stone I was lookin' for that little girl, but she done left me all alone As I seen my baby, she was walkin' down the railroad tracks As I seen my baby, she was walkin' down the railroad tracks She said I'm goin' now daddy, but I sure God ain't comin' back
