I don't know my name, I don't know when I was born
I don't know my real name, don't know when I was born
The trouble I've been havin', seem like I was raised in a orphan home

My mother died an left me, when I was only two years old
My mother died an left me, when I was two years old
An' the trouble I've been havin', the Good Lord, only knows

I've been treated like an orphan, an' been workin' like a slave
I've been treated like an orphan, an' I've been workin' like a slave
An' if I never get my revenge, evilness will carry me to my grave

Now I've been havin' trouble, ever since I've been grown
Lord knows, I've been havin' trouble, trouble, trouble, ever since I was grown
Well I'm too old for the orphans, an' too young for the old folks home
