[Chorus]
I just can't work no longer
Got to see my woman right now
We ain't gettin' any younger
I've got to get to her love somehow
[Verse 1]
When the clouds they come a rainin' down
The sun comes and shines
Lord I ain't complainin', no no
I've done wrong and I'm servin' my time
If there's any good in me
You know I'll bring it on out so that you might see
That I'm just another lonely man
I want to stop my sinnin', start over again
[Chorus]
I just can't work no longer
Got to see my woman right now
We ain't gettin' any younger
I've got to get to her love somehow
I just can't work no longer
Got to see my woman right now
We ain't gettin' any younger
I've got to get to her lovе somehow
[Verse 2]
(Now listen)
Now this woman on the othеr side
She saw my joy and every bit of my pride
Though I hurt the girl so constantly
You know that woman she love and have faith in me
But how long can a good thing last?
I vowed never to her in the past
Will she be there waiting for me
When my time is up and I'm finally free?
[Chorus]
I just can't work no longer
Got to see my woman right now
We ain't gettin' any younger
I've got to get to her love somehow
I just can't work no longer
Got to see my woman right now
We ain't gettin' any younger
I've got to get to her love somehow
I just can't work no longer
Got to see my woman right now
We ain't gettin' any younger
I've got to get to her love somehow
[Verse 1]
When the clouds they come a rainin' down
The sun comes and shines
Lord I ain't complainin', no no
I've done wrong and I'm servin' my time
If there's any good in me
You know I'll bring it on out so that you might see
That I'm just another lonely man
I want to stop my sinnin', start over again
[Chorus]
I just can't work no longer
Got to see my woman right now
We ain't gettin' any younger
I've got to get to her love somehow
I just can't work no longer
Got to see my woman right now
We ain't gettin' any younger
I've got to get to her lovе somehow
[Verse 2]
(Now listen)
Now this woman on the othеr side

I just can't work no longer
Got to see my woman right now
We ain't gettin' any younger
I've got to get to her love somehow
