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...
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...
