Capo III *
    
Just about a year ago, I set out on the road,
Seekin my fame and fortune, lookin for a pot of gold.
Things got bad, and things got worse, I guess you will know the tune.
Oh ! lord, stuck in Lodi again.
Rode in on the Greyhound, I’ll be walkin out if I go.
I was just passin through, must be seven months or more.
Ran out of time and money, looks like they took my friends.
Oh ! lord, I’m stuck in Lodi again.
   
    
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
Oh ! lord, stuck in Lodi again.
D D D D A A A A E E E E A (A)
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.
Oh ! lord, I’m stuck in Lodi again.
Oh ! lord, I’m stuck in Lodi again.
