You Had Too Much

Don't Drive Me From Your Door - Lonnie Johnson

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
