Ain’t Gonna Work Tomorrow

Kim Beggs - vocals, guitar

Ain’t gonna work tomorrow
I ain’t gonna work today
Ain’t gonna work tomorrow Lord
For that is my wedding day

I love my Mama and my Papa
I love my Mama and my Papa too
Love my Mama and my Papa too
And I’d leave them both to go with you

I been all around this country
I been all around this world
I been all around this country Lord
For the sake of one rising sun

I’m leaving you this lonesome song
I’m leaving you this lonesome song
I’m leaving you this lonesome song
Because I am gonna be gone before long
