Worked all the Summer, and all the Fall
Now I gotta take Christmas, now, in my overhalls
But bye and bye, I'll overcome some sweet day
Goin' up the country, won't be back 'til Fall
Times get no better I won't be back at all
But bye and bye, I'll overcome some sweet day
You treat me like, didn't know my name
You mistreat me, now, for another man
But bye and bye, I'll overcome some sweet day
My baby quit me, didn't say a word
'Twas on account of something that she heard
But bye and bye, I'll overcome some sweet day
When I had money, I had a friend
Ain't got no money, ain't, ain't got no friend
But bye and bye, I'll overcome some sweet day
Take one more drink, make me tell it all
Somebody stole my little all-in-all
But bye and bye, I'll overcome some sweet day
