Tired As I Can Be Lyrics

Lucille Bogan Tired As I Can Be

I worked all the winter, and I worked all the fall,

I've got to wait until spring, to get my ashes hauled,

And now I'm tired, tired as I can be,

And I'm goin' back home, where these blues don't worry
me.

I'm a free-hearted woman, I let you spend my dough,

And you never did win, you kept on askin' for more,

And now I'm tired, I ain't gon' do it no more,

And when I leave you this time, you won't know where I
go.

My house rent's due, they done put me outdoors,

And here you ridin' 'round here, in a V-8 Ford,

I done got tired, of your lowdown dirty ways,

And your sisters say you've been dirty, dirty all your
days.

I never will forget, when the times was good,

I caught you standin' out yonder, in the Piney Woods,

And now I'm tired, tired as I can be,

And I'm goin' back South, to my used-to-be.
