verse 1
Sittin in a barroom countin? my dough
runnin out of money and places to go
Sittin in a barroom drunk at night
won?t get to sleep til the first daylight
Baby can I crawl back to you
baby can I crawl back to you
verse 2
Goin to the bus station nothin in my hand

I oughta be arrivin in a day or two
the bus might leave me can I come back to you
Baby can I crawl back to you
baby can I crawl back to you
Interlude
verse 3
Sittin in a jail house countin? my dough
ran out of money but I got a place to go
I oughta be leavin in a day or two
get myself together can I come back to you
Baby can I crawl back to you
baby can I crawl back to you
verse 4
Got me some insurance paid another prem
jump in a river and I might learn to swim
might learn to swim but I just might drown
I got that insurance paid plumb down
Turn it all over to you
Baby can I crawl back to you
Turn it all over to you
Baby can I crawl back to you
