I should know to them home They me through the store these toys I can't afford Kids, take back, you know better than that Dolls talk, Astronauts, TV games, airplanes They don't understand and how can I
I try and try but I can't Pennies, nickels, dollars slip I've tried and tried but I can't
My girl has bad fever, sure All night with Tryin' to and rub her down Ruby, I'm tired, I'm tired, try and get sleep I'm adding doctor's to remedies To the cost of three work lost
I try and try but I save Pennies, nickels, dollars away tried and tried but I can't save
The hole in my pocketbook is "There's a new blowin'", they say It's be a cold, cold one yourselves my darlings 'Cause it won't bring anything our way But more bowl days
I played a card in this game I the first and the last letters In of their names This lottery's been up for weeks I could be lucky me with the million prize of disbelief spillin' out of my eyes
I try and try but I can't Pennies, nickels, dollars slip tried and tried but I can't save
The in my pocketbook is growing "There's a new blowing", they say It's be a cold, cold one Brace my darlings
"There's a new blowing", they say And it's be a cold, cold one Brace yourselves my it's gonna be a cold, cold one
"There's a new wind blowing", say And gonna be a cold, cold one So brace my darlings 'Cause it won't bring much our way But dust bowl days
