I Ain’t Going to Work Tomorrow lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm a-going to leave this country
I'm a-going around this world
I'm a-going to leave this country
For the sake of one little girl

[Verse 2]
Well, she told me that she loved me
And it give my poor heart grief
When she's got her back turned on me
She's courting whoever she please

[Verse 3]
Well, I lost my money in gambling
And I lost my name, you see
I am nobody's darling
And nobody cares for me

[Verse 4]
Don't you hear my banjo ringing
Don't you hear this mournful sound
Don't you hear those pretty girls laughing
Standing on the cold, cold ground

[Verse 5]
I'll hang my head in sorrow
I'll hang my head and cry
I'll hang my head in sorrow
As my darling passes by
[Verse 6]
Well, I ain't going to work tomorrow
And I may not work next day
I ain't going to work tomorrow
For it be a wet, rainy day
