I'll Get Ahead Someday

(Mack Magaha)



I'll get ahead someday

I'll get ahead someday

If the sun comes up and my wife cuts down

I'll get ahead someday.



Well I get up early work hard all day listen to the troubles of my friends

But I don't realize till I get home what an awful shape I'm in

Well my car's in the shop my shoes wore out got a bill from doctor today

And the landlord said you'll get out tomorrow if you don't get me some pay.



But I'll get ahead someday

I'll get ahead someday

If the sun comes up and my wife cuts down

I'll get ahead someday.



All I can hear there's a sale downtown gotta have some money today

But there's things at home that's never been used she bought last bargain day

Well, I tell hurt we'll have to cut down here is what you said

What's mine is mine what's yours is mine that's how I got this mess.



But I'll get ahead someday

I'll get ahead someday

If the sun comes up and my wife cuts down

I'll get ahead someday.



If the sun comes up and my wife cuts down

I'll get ahead someday...
