Well if you see Charlie James walkin' down this road
Please don't tell him which way you see me go
I had a whole lotta trouble
Since I saw you last
I don't know my future
I don't wanna tell my past
I had a whole lotta money
One day, one day
On the very next day I did not have a dime
Lookin' on down the road as far as I could see
Well I thought I saw my old-time used-to-be
Well in the morning soon
In the morning soon
Well I'll be leaving for Houston
In the morning
So if you see Charlie James walkin' down the road
Please don't tell him which way you see me go
Please don't tell him which way you see me go
