the mississippi is deep and wide
my good gal left me on the other side

thats all right cause i dont worry
oh that'll be a better day

if ya dont like a my peaches dont shake a my tree
get outa my orchard woman if you please

thats all right cause i dont worry
oh that'll be a better day

ashes to ashes and dust to dust
show me a woman that a man can trust

thats all right cause i dont worry
oh that'll be a better day

it was in the spring one sunny day
my good girl left me, oh she went astray

thats all right cause i dont worry
oh that'll be a better day

++Additional verse+++

she called me in dallas, in el paso
said "come home daddy oh i need you so"

thats all right cause i dont worry
oh that'll be a better day
