Little Waterloo

(专辑： High Wide & Handsome: The Charlie Poole Project - 2009)

There comes a time in a young man's life when he should settle down
But I've gotta catch that next fair deal before it hits the ground
I'm on my way, I'm gonna make it pay
Go ask anybody, it's happened more than once
I'll step out for a minute and be gone for seven months
Got a little bit lost, I forgot my watch
Oh, I'm going away, I'm going to stay, and never coming home
Gonna miss me, honey, in the days to come
When the winter wind begins to blow, the ground is covered up with snow
You'll think of me, gonna wish me back, your loving man
You're gonna miss me honey in the day, days, days to come
I'm living in the highways, just trying to catch a car
It's "Where you going, buddy?" "Well, I'm going wherever you are
I'm satisfied, just to take a little ride"
Life's a lot like poker, you can't win if you don't play
Gonna bankroll my tomorrow and pawn my yesterday
I'll trust in God, but I'll cut the cards
Oh, I'm going away, I'm going to stay, and never coming home
Gonna miss me, honey, in the days to come
When the winter wind begins to blow, the ground is covered up with snow
You'll think of me, gonna wish me back, your loving man
You're gonna miss me honey in the day, days, days to come
I'm going round the world, what do you think of that?
Going all the way around the world, I'm never coming back
Never coming home, going away to roam
Oh, but I won't go to San Antone or anywhere near France
That's two last things, I said that's two
That I'm never never never ever ever gonna do
So can't you see? It's guaranteed there isn't any chance
I'll meet my Alamo, my little Waterloo
