Lyrics for Ragged & Dirty
Lord, I'm broke, I'm hungry, ragged and dirty too Broke and hungry, ragged and dirty too If I clean up sweet mama, can I stay all night with you Lord, I went to my window, babe, I couldn't see through my blinds Went to my window, babe, I couldn't see through my blinds Heard my best friend coming around, I thought I heard my baby cry Lord, if I can't come in here, baby, then just let me sit down in your door If I can't come in here, baby, then just let me sit down in your door And I would leave so soon that your man won't never know How can I live here baby, Lord, and feel at ease? How can I live here baby, Lord, and feel at ease? Well, that woman I got, man, she do just what she feels Lord, you shouldn't mistreat me, baby, because I'm young and wild Shouldn't mistreat me, baby, because I'm young and wild You must always remember, baby, you was once a child 'Cause I'm leaving in the morning, if I have to ride the blind Leaving in the morning, if I have to ride the blinds Well, I've been mistreated and I swear, I don't mind dyin'
