Stephen Foster

Well I was riding to the city



and my horse broke down, do-dah, do-dah



Blacksmith lived on the other side of town



Oh do-dah day



Well I'm gwan to run all night



Yes I'm gwan to run all day



I think Stephen Foster was ahead of his time



That's all I've got to say



Well a nickel is a nickel



and a dime is a dime, do-dah, do-dah



You can't make a dollar sittin' down all the time



Oh do-dah day



Well I'm gwan to run all night



Yes I'm gwan to run all day



I think Stephen Foster was ahead of his time



That's all I've got to say



Well I got to the city



and I went downtown, do-dah, do-dah



Cotton went up and it all came down



Oh do-dah day



Well I'm gwan to run all night



Yes I'm gwan to run all day



I think Stephen Foster was ahead of his time



That's all I've got to say



I got a room full of people



and a handful of friends, do-dah, do-dah



That's how it goes and that's how it ends



Oh do-dah day



Well I'm gwan to run all night



Yes I'm gwan to run all day



I think Stephen Foster was ahead of his time



That's all I've got to say
