YOU DON'T KNOW MY MIND
(Jimmie Skinner)
ROY MOSS (MERCURY 70858, 1956)

Honey, you don't know my mind
I'm lonesome all the time
I travel fast on a hard road, you see
I'm not here to try to please
Just give my old heart ease
Baby, you don't know my mind a day
Honey, you don't know my mind
I'm lonesome all the time
Born to lose, a drifter, that's me
If you travelled for so long
Then a rambler's heart goes on
Baby, you don't know my mind a day

I've heard the music of the rail
Left in every dirty jail
Life's too short for you to worry for me
You can think I'm sweet and kind
I can love a thousand times
Baby, you don't know my mind a day

Well, a hobo and a tramp
I so have done been stamped
Things I know I've learned the hard way
When I find that I can't win
I'll be checkin' out again
Baby, you don't know my mind a day

Honey, you don't know my mind
I'm lonesome all the time
I travel fast on a hard road, you see
I'm not here to try to please
Just give my old heart ease
Baby, you don't know my mind a day
