A great album, a great man. A couple of these lines have given me trouble. But...
I HOPE I LIVE A FEW MORE DAYS
(said to be from relatives of his)

I hope I live a few more days
And God will give me grace
I'll buy me a bottle of Ethermotor(?) drops
To wash out the seeds of face (?)

Oh, I will come in but I won't sit down,
For I want (won't?) hardly time,
I truly understand you love another one
Sweet, are no longer mine

Oh, now you are a married man
A-living at your ease,
While my poor heart is broken and troubled
No pleasure do I see.

Oh, you know what you promised me
When you gave me your right hand
Said if ever you did marry in this wide world
That I should be the one (s).

Oh, now you are a married man (repeat earlier verse)

Oh many other girls they dress so fine
And off to church they'll go,
While me, a poor girl has to stay at home
And rock the cradle and sow.

Oh many other girls they drive fine cars
And off to the store and buy
While me, a poor girl, has to stay at home
And rock the cradle and cry.
