Blackfoot - Spendin' Cabbage

Yeeeeeee-yeah-yeah aha.

Well mama, ridin' down this highway, Oh highway 95
Sometimes I don't know if I'm even dead or alive .

And that is why, that is why I was born a ramblin' fool.
And I got me no spendin' cabbage.
And I sure do think this old world is cruel.

Seems like I been here such a long time before.
Used to be a free man, could knock on any woman's door.

And that is why, that is why I was born a ramblin' fool-ooo-ool.
And I got me no spendin' cabbage.
Sure do think this old world is cruel.

Play it for me one time.
Ha, ha, ha.

Yes, all you'all talkin' to me.

Well you work yourself on sundown, workin' like a dog.
Bring your money home and your mama says it's gone.
So whatÂ's the use in workin' your fingers to the bone.
When your children don't even love you,
Lord, when you're gone.

Take my time this time and get it right.
Till my feet are spreadin' dem wings, time to take flight.

That is why, that is why I'm still a ramblin' fool.
I'm such a fool.
And I got me no spendin' cabbage.
Sure do think this old world is cruel.

Yeah.

And I got me no spendin' gee dye, ah ha huh.
Sure do think this old world is cruel.
And I got me no spendin' cabbage.
Sure do think this old world is cruel.

I remember hearing Rick Medlocke play this song on a local radio station here in eastern NC several years ago. It sounds just as good now as it did the first time I heard it almost 30 years ago.
