[00:11.80]Well, out of Southern Illinois
[00:14.91]Come a down home country boy.
[00:18.05]He's gonna make it in the city
[00:19.52]Playin' guitar in the studio.
[00:23.73]Well he hadn't been there an hour,
[00:26.99]When he met a Broadway flower,
[00:29.96]You know she took him for his money
[00:31.51]And she left him in a cheap hotel.
[00:35.35]Oh, well, it's easy for you to see
[00:38.38]That that country boy is me
[00:41.26]Saying "And how am I gonna ever
[00:42.79]break the news to the folks back home?"
[00:47.02]Well, I was gonna be a great success,
[00:50.09]Things sure ended up a mess,
[00:53.16]But in the process I got messed up too.
[00:58.30]"Hello Mamma and Dad I had to call collect
[01:01.76]'Cause I ain't got a cent to my name.
[01:04.70]Well I'm sleepin' in the hotel doorway,
[01:07.96]And tonight they say it's gonna rain.
[01:10.09]And if you'd only send me some money
[01:13.34]I'll be back on my feet again,
[01:16.51]Send it in care of the Sunday Mission
[01:19.84]Box number ten."
[01:24.29]
[01:27.92]Well, back in Southern Illinois
[01:30.74]They're still worryin' 'bout their boy.
[01:33.73]But this boy's goin' home
[01:35.76]soon's he get's the fare.
[01:39.29]Because as soon as I got my bread
[01:42.24]I got a pipe upside my head.
[01:45.29]You know they left me in an alley,
[01:46.91]Took my money and my guitar, too.
[01:51.03]"Hello Mamma and Dad I had to call collect
[01:54.00]'Cause I ain't got a cent to my name.
[01:56.89]Well I'm sleepin' in the hotel doorway,
[01:59.76]And tonight they say it's gonna rain.
[02:02.17]And if you'd only send me some money
[02:05.70]I'll be back on my feet again,
[02:08.56]Send it in care of the Sunday Mission
[02:11.75]Box number ten."
