One of these days, boy Gonna see my baby Gonna see my baby Coming down the road She'll have my pardon Pardon in her apron, oh, Lord Gonna see the governor Who said release my man She's coming down the road, boy She's coming down the road Red dress on, yeah She's got her red dress on She's coming down the road, boy She's coming down the road Her bags down low She's got her bags down low One of these days, boy Gonna see my woman She'll have my children Children on her knee I'll run up to my woman And hold her in my arms Tears in her eyes She says I'm glad you're free
