alone and broke in birmingham - cal smith lyrics

[verse 1]
n0body knows how blue i am
alone and broke in birmingham
washin’ dishes for a bite to eat
sleepin’ nights on a rundown street
my only shoes are paper thin
i’ve hawked my clothes everywhere i’ve been
i’m down to nothin’ and here i am

[refrain]
alone and broke in birmingham

[verse 2]
why did i leave a good home town
to ride the freights and bum around
the girl that’s waiting is mighty sweet
but i can’t wait ’til i’m on my feet
down on my luck but i still got my pride
can’t find a job but oh how i’ve tried
ain’t got the price of a telegram

[refrain]
alone and broke in birmingham

[verse 3]
i’ve heard a thousand no’s and they all hurt
who wants a man in a dirty shirt
i can’t keep going with this heavy load
sometimes i think it’s the end of the road
a man’s got hope though he’s not got a dime
he keeps a livin’ just a breath at a time
i can’t wait till i’m out of this jam
[refrain]
alone and broke in birmingham
alone and broke in birmingham
