I used to be a bad boy bad boyin'
Don't have to be bad no more, oh well
I used to be a bad boy
Don't have to be bad no more
I laid my [?] a long time ago

My mother died left me by myself
My mother died, oh well
She left me by myself
Well well well oh well

Now I ain't got nobody
Sit down and talk to me
Oh Lawd Lawd
Lord I'm by myself
My brother and my sister
Don't see no me, Lord no more
