One Of These Days Dave Van Ronk

One of these days I'm gonna do things right
Do all my business in daylight
One of these days I'm gonna do things right
I'm gonna do all my business in the broad daylight

One of these days I'm gonna get myself straight
Stop hangin' round with jailbait
One of these days I'm gonna get myself straight
I'm gonna stop hangin' round with this jailhouse bait

One of these days I'm gonna get myself wise
Next week, you know, we gotta get organized
One of these days I gotta get myself wise
Next week we gotta get organized, organized, organized...

One of these days I'm gonna go back home
Sit on the back porch and compose a poem
One of these days I'm gonna go back home
I'm gonna sit on my back porch and compose myself a poem
Ahh, one of these days...
