i ain't gonna work tomorrow
And I may not work next day Well I ain't going to work tomorrow For it be a wet, rainy day 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 Well, she told me that she loved me And it give my poor heart grief Now she's got her back turned on me And she's courting whoever she please  [Instrumental break]  Well, I lost my money in gambling And I lost my name, you see I am nobody's darling And nobody cares for me  Well, I ain't going to work tomorrow And I may not work next day Well I ain't going to work tomorrow For it be a wet, rainy day 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 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  Well, I ain't going to work tomorrow And I may not work next day Well I ain't going to work tomorrow For it be a wet, rainy day  [Instrumental break]
