When the rooster crows at dawn, Lord, behold
When the rooster crows at dawn, Lord, behold
When the rooster crows at dawn I'll be down the road and gone
When the rooster crows at dawn, Lord, behold
Ain't got no shoes on my feet, Lord, behold
Ain't got no shoes on my feet, Lord, behold
Ain't got no shoes on my feet walking down this pebbly street
Ain't got no shoes on my feet, Lord, behold
Lord, behold, Lord, behold
This lonesome house ain't no home
Lord, behold, Lord, behold
Lord, behold, this is why I roam
A gamblin' man is rich, Lord, behold
A gamblin' man is rich, Lord, behold
A gamblin' man is rich, he made a deal with a witch

Lord, behold, this is why I roam

There's a black cloud in the sky, Lord, behold
There's a black cloud in the sky, soon hell's gonna fly
There's a black cloud in the sky, Lord, behold
I'm a good man gone bad, Lord, behold
I'm a good man gone bad, Lord, behold
I'm a good man gone bad, being sober makes me mad
I'm a good man gone bad, Lord, behold
Lord, behold, Lord, behold
This lonesome house ain't no home
Lord, behold, Lord, behold
Lord, behold, this is why I roam
