|
Standin' there by the old town clock |
|
Grab my coat in my hand |
|
I thought I'd go for a walk |
|
|
|
Like my Momma said, "You'll never be poor" |
|
But can you really be sure? |
|
You've got to help, doctor, doctor |
|
Got to take the cure |
|
|
|
Strollin' 'round, I was hit by surprise |
|
By a bit of a dream |
|
That looked me straight in the eyes |
|
|
|
My Momma said, "You'll never be poor" |
|
But can you really be sure? |
|
You've got to help, doctor, doctor |
|
Got to take the cure |
|
|
|
Everyday I think I see her again |
|
With the passing of time |
|
My chances just never came |
|
|
|
Like my Momma said, "You'll never be poor" |
|
But can you really be sure? |
|
You've got to help, doctor, doctor |
|
Got to take the cure |
|
|
|
Fourteen years since I saw her that night |
|
Things are not quite the same |
|
My head just ain't feelin' right |
|
|
|
My Momma said, "You'll never be poor" |
|
But can you really be sure? |
|
You've gotta to help, doctor, doctor |
|
Got to take the cure |
|
|
|
Oh, you're right that I tried |
|
To tell myself I'll be all right |
|
Feelin' poor, that's for sure |
|
I need a bowl of my Momma's cure |
|
|
|
Oh, you're right that I tried |
|
To tell myself that I'll be all right |
|
Feelin' poor, that's for sure |
|
I need a bowl of my Momma's cure |
