by

recording of 1996
from
Just Like You (OKeh/Epic/Sony 484117 6)
It's the last fair deal goin' down,
last fair deal goin' down
It's the last fair deal goin' down, good Lord,
on that
Gulfport Island Road
Ida Belle, don't you cry this time
Ida Belle, don't you cry this time
If you cry about a nickel, you'll die 'bout a dime
I wouldn't cry, but the money it ain't mine
My
captain
's so mean on me
My captain's so mean on me
My captain's so mean on me, good Lord,
on that Gulfport Island Road
Workin' my way back home
Workin' my way back home
I'm workin' my way back home, good Lord,
on that Gulfport Island Road
It's the last fair deal goin' down, last fair deal goin' down
It's the last fair deal goin' down, good Lord,
on that Gulfport Island Road
On that Gulfport Island Road
On that Gulfport Island
