I Always Say

I Always Say
I went down to see my sister
The story was the same
She said oh Brother you got to help me
He’s gone and left me again
I said he’s probably just been out all night drinking
Like the men you married always like to do
He’s probably lying in some gutter somewhere
Hopelessly some side of you
And there’s nothing going to keep away the bad times
It’s going to find you every day
And there’s nothing going to keep away Heaven, come what may
I always say
And then I went on back home to my Mother
She told me Son your dear Dad is dead and gone
Oh honey how am I gonna pay the rent now
How’s your poor mother gonna get along
I said Mother take the curlers out of your hair
And don’t you dare dress in black
Don’t mind the neighbors get out to find another lover
Cause no mans crying going to bring him back
And there’s nothing going to keep away the trouble
It’s going to find you every day
But then there’s nothing going to keep away Heaven, come what may
I always say
And there’s nothing going to keep away the bad times
There going to find you every day
But then nothings going to keep away Heaven, come what may
I always say
And I go home to see my woman
And as I walk in through the door
I see a note lying on the table
And I know what it says and who’s it for
And what am I gonna do without you baby
I’ll miss your loving tender kiss
I’ll have to spend a lonely life with out ya
But honey let me tell you this
If there’s nothing going to keep away the bad times
Gonna find me every day
Will meet again in Heaven, come what may
I always say
Cause it’s the Lord, ETC
If there’s nothing going to keep away the bad times
They gonna find me every day
But will meet again in Heaven, come what may
I always say
