|
You walk in, half past nine |
|
Lookin' like a queen |
|
Serving me with papers |
|
Calling me obscene |
|
Woman i've tried so hard |
|
Just to do my best |
|
They're gonna put me in the poor house |
|
And you'll take all the rest |
|
Up all day, down all night |
|
Working on the job |
|
Everything i do is wrong |
|
I always end up right |
|
Woman i try so hard |
|
Done all i can do |
|
They're gonna put me in the poor house |
|
Leave all the best for you |
|
Ooo in the poor house |
|
Ooo in the poor house |
|
If a drove a pulpwood truck |
|
Would you love me more? |
|
Will you bring me diamonds |
|
And hang around my door |
|
Woman, i've done my best |
|
They're ain't much left for me |
|
They're gonna put me in the poor house |
|
And throw away the key |
|
Ooo in the poor house |
|
You walk in, half past nine |
|
Lookin' like a queen |
|
Serving me with papers |
|
Calling me obscene |
|
Woman i've tried so hard |
|
Just to do my best |
|
They're gonna put me in the poor house |
|
And you'll take all the rest |
|
Up all day, down all night |
|
Working on the job |
|
Everything i do is wrong |
|
I always end up right |
|
Woman i try so hard |
|
Done all i can do |
|
They're gonna put me in the poor house |
|
Leave all the best for you |
