Lyric Don t Drive Me From Your Door (1930)

Just look how it s rainin , my feet s on the ground.
Just look how it s rainin , and my poor feet s on the ground.
For the woman I ve made happy, when she s after every man in town.

Friends, please open your door, and don t drive me away.
Please open your door, and don t drive me away.
The rent man has put me outdoors, and I ve got no place to stay.

Let me stay here tonight, it s ice all on the ground.
Let me stay here tonight, it s ice all over the ground.
Cause I m motherless and I m fatherless, and please don t turn me down.

When I had plenty money, I had friends all over town.
When I had plenty of money, I had friends all over town.
But just as soon as I got outdoors, none of my friends could be found.

After mother an father s gone, a dollar s your right hand friend.
After mother an father s gone, dollar s your right hand friend.
Then after your last dollar s gone, you re like a road that has no end.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, lord where will I go?
I m beggin you my friend, don t drive me from your door.
I cannot sleep on the ground, there s nothin but ice and snow.
