Tired As I Can Be

I worked all the winter, and I worked all the fall

I've got to wait until spring, to get my ashes hauled

And now I'm tired, tired as I can be

And I'm goin' back home, where these blues don't worry me

I'm a free-hearted woman, I let you spend my dough

And you never did win, you kept on askin' for more

And now I'm tired, I ain't gon' do it no more

And when I leave you this time, you won't know where I go

My house rent's due, they done put me outdoors

And here you ridin' 'round here, in a V-8 Ford

I done got tired, of your lowdown dirty ways

And your sisters say you've been dirty, dirty all your days

I never will forget, when the times was good

I caught you standin' out yonder, in the Piney Woods

And now I'm tired, tired as I can be

And I'm goin' back South, to my used-to-be
