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