Sun's gonna shine in my backdoor someday sun's gonna

shine in my backdoor someday



Sun's gonna shine in my backdoor someday March wind's

gonna blow my blues all away



[ fiddle ]



My mama told me long years ago never to marry no boy I know



You won't give you money no decent cost what will become

with you God only knows



Sun's gonna shine...



[ dobro ]



Hard times're comin' I've been told never sell love for a rich man's gold



Hard times're comin' that much I know



Love won't help you when you're hungry and cold



Sun's gonna shine...
