Текст (слова) песни: Lonnie Johnson - Don`t Drive Me From Your Door (1930)
Just look how it`s rainin`, my feet `s on the ground. Just look how it`s rainin`, and my poor feet `s on the ground. For the woman I`ve made happy, when she`s after every man in town.
Friends, please open your door, and don`t drive me away. Please open your door, and don`t drive me away. The rent man has put me outdoors, and I`ve got no place to stay.
Let me stay here tonight, it`s ice all on the ground. Let me stay here tonight, it`s ice all over the ground. `Cause I`m motherless and I`m fatherless, and please don`t turn me down.
When I had plenty money, I had friends all over town. When I had plenty of money, I had friends all over town. But just as soon as I got outdoors, none of my friends could be found.
After mother an` father `s gone, a dollar `s your right hand friend. After mother an` father `s gone, dollar `s your right hand friend. Then after your last dollar `s gone, you`re like a road that has no end.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, lord where will I go? I`m beggin` you my friend, don`t drive me from your door. I cannot sleep on the ground, there`s nothin` but ice and snow.
