You ain't gonna trouble poor me anymore But someday baby Don't care how long you gone I don't care how long you staying But, good kind treatment Gonna bring you home someday You just keep on betting That the dice won't pass Well you know, darling

I'm gonna bring it on home, now I'm gonna bring it on home to you I done bought my ticket, I got my load Conductor done hollered, "All, aboard" Take my seat and ride way back And watch this train move down the track I think about the good times I once
