Lord I'm broke, I'm hungry, ragged and dirty too   Broke and hungry, ragged and dirty too   If I clean up sweet mama   Can I stay all night with you?      Lord, I went to my window, babe I couldn't see through my blinds   Went to my window, babe I couldn't see through my blinds   Heard my best friend coming around   I thought I heard my baby cry      Lord, if I can't come in here, baby then just let me sit down in your door   If I can't come in here baby then just let me sit down in your door   And I would leave so soon   That your man won't never know      How can I live here baby, Lord and feel at ease ?   How can I live here baby, Lord and feel at ease ?   Well, that woman I got, man   She do just what she feels      Lord you shouldn't mistreat me, baby because I'm young and wild   Shouldn't mistreat me, baby, because I'm young and wild   You must always remember   Baby, you was once a child      'Cause I'm leaving in the morning, if I have to ride the blind   Leaving in the morning, if I have to ride the blinds   Well, I've been mistreated   And I swear, I don't mind dyin'
