Well there's a ruckus on the levee   Unruly crowd on the courthouse steps   And if I make it till Sunday   I'm sho'nuff gonna ask the good Lord for help   With a moutfull of salt I try to explain   If money was sand I couldn't hold one grain   I feel like a thief that knows he's been framed   For leaving the watch but stealing the chain      Good morning, captain   I wish there was another way   But my baby is wantin   Me to roll around in her bed all day      Well the late nights got me reeling   Spillin out the bottle right into the next day   Got a funny little feeling gonna be like this until my dying day   There's mud in my eye but I can still see   Everybody in town is tryin to murder me   If they don't get me s'pose the hangman will   I better think twice about making this deal      Good morning, captain   I wish there was another way   But my baby is wantin   Me to roll around in her bed all day      Magnolia, magnolia   Let me rest under the shade of your leaves      Good morning, captain   I wish there was another way   But my baby is wantin   Me to roll around in her bed all day
