Lyrics:

I aint got
Nothing to lose
But these holes in my shoes
and them blues ribbon blues
And I cannot
Tell if I'm able to
Find that stable ground
Where honest men stand
So I'm
Biding my time down in
North Carolina
Till I find my way clear

And when
That open sky above it calls
Well I'll be gone
To where
I still ain't sure but once again
I'll follow then

Could you
Spare a thought or
An extra dime for a wandering man
This world
Is lost and mindless
Without that kindness
To make a man smile
So I'll
Be on my way soon and
Singing tunes of this life that I have known

And when
That open sky above it calls
Well I'll be gone
To where
I still ain't sure but once again
I'll follow then

I aint got
Nothing to lose
But these holes in my shoes
