One of these days, boy

Gonna see my baby

Gonna see my baby

Coming down the road

She'll have my pardon

Pardon in her apron, oh, Lord

Gonna see the governor

who said release my man



She's coming down the road, boy

She's coming down the road

Red dress on, yeah

She's got her red dress on

She's coming down the road, boy

She's coming down the road

Her bags down low

She's got her bags down low





One of these days, boy

Gonna see my woman

She'll have my children

Children on her knee

I'll run up to my woman

And hold her in my arms

Tears in her eyes

She says I'm glad you're free
