I've been sittin' here watchin'
Would Matchbox hold my clothes.
I've been sittin' here watchin'
Would Matchbox hold my clothes.
I ain't got no matches but I sure got a long way to go.

I'm an old poor boy, ain't got no home 
Yes I'm an old poor boy, 
And I'm a long, long, long way from home.
Everything I do certainly turn out mad and wrong

Piano solo and hand-clapping

Well, If you don't like my peaches honey,
Please don't shake my tree.
Well, If you don't like Jerry's peaches 
please don't ride on this street.
I got news for you baby, I leave you here in misery.

Yes I've been sittin' here watchin'
Would Matchbox hold my clothes.
I've been sittin' here watchin'
Would Matchbox hold my clothes.
I ain't got no matches but I sure got a long way to go.

I said I'm sittin' here watchin'
Would Matchbox hold my clothes.
I said I'm sittin' here watchin'
Would Matchbox hold my clothes.
I ain't got no matches but I sure got a long way to go.
