I know to leave 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 understand and how can I explain?
I try and try but I save Pennies, nickels, dollars slip tried and tried but I can't save
My youngest girl has bad fever, All with alcohol Tryin' to cool and rub her Ruby, I'm tired, I'm tired, try and get sleep I'm adding fees to remedies To the of three day's work lost
I try and try but I save Pennies, nickels, dollars away I've and tried but I can't save
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 more dust bowl
I played a card in week's game I took the first and the last In of their names This lottery's been buildin' up for I could be lucky me with the five million Tears of spillin' out of my eyes
I try and try but I save Pennies, nickels, dollars away I've and tried but I can't save
The hole in my pocketbook is "There's a new wind blowing", say It's be a cold, cold one Brace yourselves my
"There's a new wind blowing", say And it's gonna be a cold, one Brace yourselves my 'Cause it's be a cold, cold one
"There's a new blowing", they say And it's be a cold, cold one So brace my darlings 'Cause it won't bring much our way But more dust days
