[Chorus]
Oh lordy me and oh lordy my
See when you haven’t got a dime
When your trouble's are so deep
You can't eat nor sleep
See when your troubles are like mine
See when your troubles are like mine

[Verse 1]
And I asked the Captain for a job
He said, “Son what can you do?”
“I can line a track, I can ball the jack"
"I can pick and shovel, too"
"Pick and shovel, too"

[Chorus]
Oh lordy me and oh lordy my
See when you haven’t got a dime
When your trouble's are so deep
You can't eat nor sleep
See when your troubles are like mine
See when your troubles are like mine

[Chorus]
Oh lordy me and oh lordy my
See when you haven’t got a dime
When your trouble's are so deep
You can't eat nor sleep
See when your troubles are like mine
See when your troubles are like mine
