Broke Down Engine - Blind Wille McTell

Feel like a broke down engine, ain't got no drivin' wheel
Feel like a broke down engine, ain't got no drivin' wheel
If you've been down and lonesome then you know how a poor boy feels

I been shootin craps and gamblin' honey and I done got broke
I been shootin craps and gamblin' honey and I done got broke
Pawned my pistol, my good clothes and so

I went down to my prayin ground dropped down on bended knees
I went down to my prayin ground dropped down on bended knees
I ain't prayin for no religion, just bring me back my good gal please

If you just send her back, lord I won't worry you no more
If you just send her back, lord I won't worry you no more
Don't have to put her in my house just lead her up to my front door

Feel like a broke down engine, ain't got no drivers at all
Feel like a broke down engine, ain't got no drivers at all
Reason I love that woman, she can really do the Georga Crawl

Feel like a broke down engine, ain't got no whistles or bells
Feel like a broke down engine, ain't got no whistles or bells
Takes a red hot mama to cure your daddy's weepin spells
and I won't come back no more
