Lyrics
Well, lightning struck the poor house
Oh me, I didn't have a dime
Yes, lightning struck the poor house
Oh me, I didn't have a dime
Ain't got no money
And my baby won't give me none of time
I may be down
I'll raise up before long
Yes, I may be down, baby
But I'll raise up before long
And you'll be looking for me
And I'll be long, long gone
Well, you can sing out your hymn book
Read out your Bible
Get on your knees and pray to the good Lord above
But I say, baby
You gonna need my help someday
Well, you gonna call on me
But I'll be so, so far away
