Lyrics for No Money In My Pocket
Lord have mercy We're gonna have a soul time here this evening, children Look out How long the, the will trouble last? Won't somebody tell me When will hard times pass? I mean, my baby, we've been feeling bad (Look a here) Wishing for something we ain't never had (Y'all know what I'm talking 'bout) My last suit's gone (Tell 'em what you had to do) Had to go and hock it (Lord, have mercy) Had to get some money, had to get it in my pocket (oh) Money, yeah, uh, like to get it in my pocket (ow) If good things come to those that wait Won't somebody tell me, why mine's come so late? Ah me and my baby, Lord knows we're tired We're tired of walking We're tired of running and bummin' rides, yeah That old car we had (Yes, Lord tell the truth) Is back on the market (Tell 'em why) 'Cause, 'cause it couldn't bring no money (what?) There in my pocket, oh! Money, I'm talking 'bout soul green Y'all know what I mean Now yesterday I went to the doctor
