Letra God Help Me de Clifford T. Ward original

My coat's old, but it's got a good lining
Round the cuffs it's started to fray
Found a hole in the back of my pocket
Must 'a' lost my money that way.

Oh, God help me it's started to rain
Oh, God help me I'm feeling the strain.

I came down from the back of Virginia
Got in a brawl in a dirty saloon
Big fella said 'I thought I'd seen ya
With my lady looking up at the moon.'

Oh, God help me it's started to rain
Oh, God help me I'm feeling the strain.

I got a degree in philosophy at the University of Birmingham
Then I shaved my face, got sick of the pace, so I quit the race
I couldn't give a damn.

My shoes leak, my feet are dirty
My back aches and my head is sore
Got mixed up with a gal named Gurty
It's all I could to reach the door.

Oh, God help me it's started to rain
Oh, God help me I'm feeling the strain.

Got a degree in philosophy at the University of Birmingham
Then I shaved my face, got sick of the pace, so I quit the race
I couldn't give a damn.

My shoes leak, my feet are dirty
My back aches and my head is sore
Got mixed up with a gal named Gurty
It's all I could to reach the door.

Oh, God help me it's started to rain
Oh, God help me I'm feeling the strain.

Oh, God help me it's started to rain
Oh, God help me I'm feeling the strain.
(Repeat and fade).
