Lyrics for Money Blues
Damn your brawl From way down In Tennessee Had a wife Made his life Full of misery Now, your girl sure could sing And as she moaned the blues And some said I sure like to hear Except these here bad news Daddy, I need money, give it to you honey Daddy, I need money now All day long, I hear that song Oh, I'm pretty sure for if I go wrong Fast as I can lend it, how you like to spend it It just appears somehow I've got the money You've got champagne If you don't stop spending I will have to waste Daddy, I need money, give it to you honey Daddy, I need money now Daddy, I need money now Daddy, I need money, give it to you honey Daddy, I need money now All day long, I hear that song I'm pretty sure for if I go wrong Fast as I can lend it, how you like to spend it It just appears somehow I've got the money You like champagne If you don't stop spending I will have to waste Daddy, I need money, give it to you honey I need a small piece of money now I can use a piece of small change now
