The Country Brother & The City Sister

Melvin Van Peebles

[Verse 1]
Guess it should make me glad
Thinkin' back on the good times we had
The Sqwaukin' Jaybird hotel room
That old cotton club saloon
Don't even make me sad
Just makes me kinda mad

[Chorus]
Here I am, on the road again
So soon, so soon
Lyin' here in these beat up rags
Blightin' out the moon
With my 5 cent stogie over you

[Verse 2]
You can't just stop setting
Your brother in law to calling me
About your needy surgery
Bill him that broad you back in
At the cracks in the dawn
I'm getting in the wind
Honey, I'm gone

[Chorus]
On the road again
So soon, so soon
Lyin' here in these beat up rags
Blightin' out thе moon
With my 5 cent stogie over you

[Verse 3]
Just saw a country boy
Might bе fun
Didn't look back yonder
To see where I was coming from
Said he shook up you to bow
But you ain't laughin' now, huh
But you
But you stop laughing now
Here I am

[Chorus]
On the road again
So soon, so soon
Lyin' here in these beat up rags
Blightin' out the moon
With my 5 cent stogie over you

[Verse 4]
You even kept old blue
Dumb dog plum fell under
Your spell too
Gonna get me another hound
And we gonna make the rounds
Run rabbits 'til they drop
He found some terry pow

[Chorus]
On the road again
So soon, so soon
Lyin' here in these beat up rags
Blightin' out the moon
With my 5 cent stogie over you

[Verse 5]
Though me starting monday
Just gonna be short one old slonky
Better start charging
Your cheap thrills
I'm goin' over yonder hill
I said it, and I'm glad
Oh lord, the times we had
Here I am

[Chorus]
On the road again
So soon, so soon
Lyin' here in these beat up rags
Blightin' out the moon
With my 5 cent stogie over you

[Outro]
'Member the times we had
Lord lord, the times we had
