Peter Case - Charlie James lyrics

If you see Charlie James walkin' down the road Please don't tell him which way you see me go Had a whole lotta trouble Since I saw you left I don't know my future I don't wanna see my past Had a whole lotta money One day, one day Very next day I did not have a dime Lookin' on down the road as far as I could see Thought I saw my old-time used-to-be In a whole lot of trouble one day, one day Next day I didn't know what to do Lookin' on down the road as far as I could see Thought I saw my old-time used-to-be If you see Charlie James walkin' down the road Please don't tell him which way you see me go Please don't tell him which way you see me go When a man gets in trouble, everybody throws him down A k**ing for his friends and they won't come around Nobody ever knows you when you're down and out Ask 'em for a favor, they don't know what's all about Well, you may go, you may try to stay But you'll be back some old rainy day
