1. Lord, I m broke, I m hungry, ragged and dirty too,
Broke and hungry, ragged and dirty too.
If I clean up, sweet momma, can I stay all night with you?

2. Lord, I went to my window, babe, I couldn t see through my blinds,

Heard my best friend a-comin and I thought I heard my baby cry.

3. 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.

Shouldn t mistreat me, baby, because I m young and wild.
You must always remember, baby, you was once a child.

6. Cause I m leaving in the morning, if I have to ride the blinds,
Leaving in the morning, if I have to ride the blinds.
Well, I been mistreated and I swear I don t mind dyin
