Can't Work No Longer

(앨범: People Get Ready - 1965)

Ah, ah, ah...

I just can't work no longer
I've got to see my woman right now
And we ain't getting any younger
I've got to get to her love somehow

When clouds come it's raining
The Sun come and shine now
Lord I ain't complaining
I've done wrong and I'm serving my time, but now
If there's any good in me
I'll bring it out so that you might see
That I'm just another lonely little man that wants ta
Stop myself and all over begin, and now

I just can't work no longer
I've got to see my woman right now
And we ain't getting any younger
I've got to get to her love somehow

This woman on the other side
She's my joy and all of my pride
Though I've hurt her so constantly
Still my woman loves and has faith in me
But how long can a good thing last
Though I'm proud never to hurt her in the past
Will she be there waiting for me
Five long years when I will be free

And I just can't work no longer
I've got to see my woman right now
And we ain't getting any younger
I've got to get to her love somehow

Ah, ah, ah...
