Charlie James Lyrics

If you see Charlie James walkin' down the road
Please don't tell him which way you see me go

Had a whole lotta trouble
Since I saw you left
I don't know my future
I don't wanna see my past

Had a whole lotta money
One day, one day
Very next day I did not have a dime.

Lookin' on down the road as far as I could see
Thought I saw my old-time used-to-be

In a whole lot of trouble one day, one day
Next day I didn't know what to do

Lookin' on down the road as far as I could see
Thought I saw my old-time used-to-be

If you see Charlie James walkin' down the road
Please don't tell him which way you see me go

Please don't tell him which way you see me go

When a man gets in trouble, everybody throws him down
A killing for his friends and they won't come around

Nobody ever knows you when you're down and out
Ask 'em for a favor, they don't know what's all about

Well, you may go, you may try to stay
But you'll be back some old rainy day
