Lodi by Bo Diddley Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Just about a year ago, I set out on the road
Seeking my fame and fortune, looking for a pot of gold
Things got bad, and things got worse, I guess you will know the tune

[Chorus]
Oh! Lord, Stuck in Lodi again

[Verse 2]
Rode in on the Greyhound, I'll be walking out if I go
I was just passing through, must be seven months or more
Ran out of time and money, looks like they took my friends

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
The man from the magazine said I was on my way
Somewhere I lost connections, ran out of songs to play
I came into town, a one night stand, looks like my plans fell through

[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
Mmmm
If I only had a dollar, for every song I've sung
And every time I've had to play while people sat there drunk
You know, I'd catch the next train back to where I live

[Chorus][x2]
