I said I'm sitting here wondering
will a matchbox hold my clothes
I said I'm sitt ing here wondering
will a matchbox hold my cl othes
I ain't g ot no matches
but I sure got a long way to go
I 'm an old poor boy
I'm a long way from home
I'm an old poor boy
and I'm a long way from home
I've ne ver been happy
cause every thing I ever did was wrong
W ell if you don't want my peaches
honey please don't shake my tree
If you don 't want any of those peaches
honey please don't mess around my tree
I've got new s for you baby
L eave me here in misery all right!
W ell let me be your little dog
till your big dog comes
Let me be yo ur little dog
till your big dog comes
And when your big dog gets here
w atch how your puppy dog runs
I said I'm sitting here wondering
will a matchbox hold my clothes
I said I'm sitt ing here wondering
will a matchbox hold my cl othes
I ain't g ot no matches
but I sure got a long way to g o
