Nitty Gritty - You Don't Know My Mind Lyrics

Honey, you don't know my mind
I'm lonesome all the time
Born to lose a drifter that's me

You can travel for so long
Then a rambler's heart goes wrong
Baby, you don't know my mind today

Heard the music of a rail slept in every old dirty jail
And life's too short for you to worry me
When I find I can't win, I'll be checking out again
Baby, you don't know my mind today

I've been a hobo and a tramp
My soul has done been stamped
Lord things I know I learned the hard hard way

I ain't here to judge or plea
But to give my poor heart ease
Baby, you don't know my mind today

Honey, you don't know my mind
I'm lonesome all the time
Born to lose a drifter that's me

You say I'm sweet and kind
I can love you a thousand times
Baby, you don't know my mind today
