Honey You Don't Know My Mind

1 4
Honey you don’t know my mind I’m lonesome all the time
5 1
You’re born to lose a drifter that’s me
1 4
You can travel for so long then a rambler’s heart goes wrong
5 1
But baby you don’t know my mind today
 

I’ve been a hobo and a tramp my soul has done been stamped
There’s things I know I’ve learnt the hard hard way
When I find I can’t win I’ll be checking out again
But baby you don’t know my mind today

I’ve heard the music of they rail I’ve slept in every dirty old jail
And life’s too short for you to worry me
You say I’m sweet and kind I can love you a thousand times
But baby you don’t know my mind today

Honey you don’t know my mind I’m lonesome all the time
I’ve traveled fast on this tough road you see
I’m not here to judge or plea but to give my poor heart ease
Baby you don’t know my mind today

Honey you don’t know my mind I’m lonesome all the time
You made it rough let’s see if it’s that way
You’re gonna find you were wrong when your lovin’ little daddy is gone
Baby you don’t know my mind today

You’re gonna find you were wrong when your lovin’ little daddy is gone
Baby you don’t know my mind today
