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 Road1Please, Ida Belle, don't cry this time
Ida Belle, don't cry this time
If you cry about a nickel, you'll die 'bout a dime
She wouldn't cry, but the money won't2 mineI love the way you do,
I love the way you do
I love the way you do, good Lord,
On this Gulfport Island RoadMy captain's so mean on me,
My captain's so mean on me
My captain's so mean on me, good Lord,
On this Gulfport Island RoadTake camp tain he and see, camp ain't he and see
At scal ain't be at seen, good Lord,
On that Gulfport Island RoadAh, this last fair deal goin' down,
It's the last fair deal goin' down
This' the last fair deal goin' down, good Lord,
On this Gulfport Island Road1I'm workin' my way back home,
I'm working my way back home
I'm workin' my way back home, good Lord,
On this Gulfport Island RoadAnd that thing don't keep-a ringin' so soon
That thing don't keep-a ringin' so soon
And that thing don't keep-a ringin' so soon,
Good Lord, on that Gulfed-and-Port Island Road
