I was goin’ across Oklahoma, When i thought I’d fall in love
Met up with a girl named Thelma Took three months to get cured of
Made up my mind I was gonna get my self together, I was gonna straighten up
Made me some friends out Colorado, Till they found out i sold dope they
locked me up
You just name it and I, ve done it, By my self or whit a crowd
I didn’t care what it cost me I feel lucky that I’m still around
Ain’t gonna pull no hard luck stories, like some other people’s done
I just did it cause I wanted to, to me, it was always kind of fun
I don’t claim to be Caruso, and I, m not Number One
and if you don’t like my singing’, just put the needle on another song
just put the needle on another song
I don’t claim to be Caruso, and I, m not Number One
and if you don’t like my singing’, just put the needle on another song
you hear.? Put the needle on another song
