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 going to do now? |
|
I got my bills to pay. |
|
You got me singin' the blues, |
|
And I'm paying all my dues. |
|
You got me singin' the blues, |
|
Ain't got nothing 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 paying all my dues. |
|
You got me singin' the blues, |
|
Ain't got nothing to lose. |
|
Ain't no way to get even |
|
Because, you know what I mean, |
|
Every time I make me some money |
|
Somebody's going to take it from me. |
|
You got me singin' the blues, |
|
And I'm paying all my dues. |
|
You got me singin' the blues, |
|
Ain't got nothing to lose. |
|
You got me singin' the blues, |
|
And I'm paying all my dues. |
|
You got me singin' the blues, |
|
Ain't got nothing to lose. |
