lyrics

Hey dear momma, it’s your darlin boy
Everythin is doin just fine
I got a job down on the dock
I was born for the city life
Mama I’m gettin paid
Everybody knows my name
I’m courtin sweet Miss Lorraine
We go dancin every Saturday night
I'm sorry it's been so long since you heard from me
But momma I got this opportunity
I need a half a grand by Tuesday please
But don't you worry bout me
Momma it's your darlin boy

Hey dear Buster, you're my right hand man
Y always have and always been
Remember when we got outta da pen?
It's a good thing I'm good at talking
Well since then things have changed
The city's got an ugly face
I sleep in an empty train and the cops got an eye on me
Well yesterday I gambled away my father's watch
Still haven't been paid for them nights at the dock
I went to Lorraine's but she changed the lock
I can't go home this way
Buster, you're my right hand man

Hey Lorraine do you remember me?
I loved you till my veins run dry
You left me with a single kiss and a loaded 45
I got a great notion, I got a great notion
I'm gonna jump into that ocean
With the morphine runnin around my head
I loved you more than I love myself
Now I'm hard up and the hounds of hell
Know my blood and they are on my trail
I'm not doing well
Love you till my veins run dry

To whom may be concerned
When my body washes up on the brine
Don't you send my body home
I was born for the city life
Everybody knows my name
Y'see me nearly every day
Drinkin up your pocket change
Yeah, everybody knows my name
But no one's gonna miss me when I'm gone
'cept for my folks back on that family farm
So don't you send my body home
I can't go home this way
Don't you send my body home
