I've been working so hard
 Just came home from my job
 Looked down in my wallet
 Good God, I've been robbed
 
 Now where can my money be?
 All my hard earned pay
 What am I goin' to do now?
 I got my bills to pay
 
 You got me singin' the blues
 And I'm payin' all my dues
 You got me singin' the blues
 Ain't got nothin' to lose
 
 I got to tell you I got the
 Blues down in my pockets
 
 People, what did I say?
 Bills are gonna rob me tomorrow
 Why I need my ten dollars today?
 
 You got me singin' the blues
 And I'm payin' all my dues
 You got me singin' the blues
 Ain't got nothin' to lose
 
 Ain't no way to get even
 Because you know what I mean
 Every time I make me some money
 Somebody's goin' to take it from me
 
 You got me singin' the blues
 And I'm payin' all my dues
 You got me singin' the blues
 Ain't got nothin' to lose
 
 You got me singin' the blues
 And I'm payin' all my dues
 You got me singin' the blues
 Ain't got nothin' to lose
