If I could work a better way
If it brought a better day
You know I will
Honey, you know I will
If I can feel a better time
If I can give you more than mine
You know I will
Honey, you know I will
And when trouble come to get you
And makes you want to blow the stage
Well now, don't you worry
[?] help you right down on the trail
Yeah well I know what it's like
Out in the cold, mister
And it's harder still
You know I will
Honey I will
And when problems beset you
And everybody seems to laugh
Don't get in a tizzy, 'cause in a jiffy
I'm gonna get that monkey off your back
'Cause I know about the [?]
Out on the cold, sister
Harder still
You know I will
Oh baby I will
Let me tell you about it
You know I will
[etc]
