Before The Sun Goes Down Lyrics

I'm gonna tell you about the time when I was workin' my way up
Through Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and the rest of the
States that I don't care to mention about. I was dependin' on
The Lord, and He was dependin' on me, and that seemed the way it
Was gonna be for the rest of my life. Tell 'em about it, sisters

Guess I won't see sleep again
Before the sun goes down

Yeah, early in the mornin'
Around the break of day
Sick and tired and yawnin'
Workin' for no pay
Calico and cotton
Spread for miles around, Lord

Guess I won't see sleep again (No, no, no)
Before the sun goes down (Now listen)

Sometimes I can take it
Depends on how I feel
Sometimes I can't make it
Sometimes it ain't real
Sometimes I'm so tired, Lord
Fallin' on the ground

Guess I won't see sleep again (No, no, no)
Before the sun goes down

In the time of the season
You get pain in your back
And there's no solid reason
For the man dressed in black
I've been sold down the river
And sleep, I haven't found
(Before the sun goes, before the sun goes down)
Whoa, oh

Sylvia, she's my woman
Works up in the house
Snowy, he's my bossman
Sometime he's a louse
Works me like the devil
Always hangin' around

Guess I won't see sleep again (No, no)
Before the sun goes down (Now lookit here)

Now, when I done some walkin'
Up in Tennessee
Heard a man a-talkin'
Wants to set me free, Lord
People say he's crazy
Name of Johnny Brown

Guess I won't see sleep again
Before the sun goes down

In the time of the season
You get pain in your back
There's no solid reason
For the man dressed in black
I've been sold down the river
And sleep, I haven't found
(Before the sun goes, before the sun goes down)
Ah

Early in the mornin'
'Round the break of day
Sick and tired and yawnin'
Workin' for no pay
Calico and cotton
Spread for miles around

Guess I won't see sleep again (No, no, no)
Before the sun goes down (No, now)
Guess I won't see sleep again (Ah, no, no, no, no, no)
Before the sun goes down (Ah, no, no, no, no)
Guess I won't see sleep again (Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Before the sun goes down (Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Guess I won't see sleep again
Before the sun goes down
