I should know to leave home follow me through the store With these toys I afford Kids, take them back, you know better than Dolls that talk, Astronauts, TV games, don't understand and how can I explain?
I try and try but I save Pennies, nickels, dollars slip I've tried and but I can't save
My girl has bad fever, sure All with alcohol 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 can't Pennies, nickels, dollars away tried and tried but I can't save
The hole in my pocketbook is "There's a new wind blowin'", say gonna be a cold, cold one Brace my darlings 'Cause it won't anything much our way But more dust bowl
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 be lucky me with the five million prize of disbelief spillin' out of my eyes
I try and try but I save Pennies, nickels, dollars away I've tried and but I can't save
The in my pocketbook is growing "There's a new blowing", they say It's gonna be a cold, one Brace my darlings
"There's a new wind blowing", say And it's gonna be a cold, one Brace my darlings 'Cause 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 anything much our way But more bowl days
