Broke Down Engine lyrics
Songwriters: Mctell, Willie;

Feel like a broke down engine, mama
Ain t got no drivin wheel, lord have mercy
Feel like a broke down engine, mama
Ain t got no drivin wheel
You all been down and lonley
You know just how Willie McTell feels

But it s, Lordy Lord, Lordy, Lordy Lord
Lordy Lord , Lordy, Lordy Lord

I ve been shooting craps and gambling
Good God, and I done got broke
I ve been shooting craps and gambling
Sweet mama, and I done got broke
I done pawned my 33 special, good gal
And my clothes been sold

I even went down in my praying ground
Dropped down on bended knees
I went down to my praying ground
And dropped on bended knees
I ain t crying for no religion
Lordy, give me back my good girl please

But it s Lordy Lord, Lordy, Lordy Lord
Lordy Lord, Lordy, Lordy Lord, Lord, Lordy Lord

If you give me my baby
Lord, I won t worry you no more
If you give me my baby
Lord, I won t worry you no more
You ain t got to put her in my house
Lordy, only lead her to my door

Lordy, Lord

Don t you hear me, baby
Knocking on your door?
Don t you hear your daddy, mama
Knocking on your door?
Can?t I get out singing, living n tapping
Flatting, slip right across your floor

Lordy Lord, Lordy, Lordy Lord, Lordy Lord
Lordy, Lordy Lord
