(Steve Miller)
|
I ask my baby for a nickel
|
She gave me a twenty dollar bill
|
I ask her for a drink of whiskey
|
And she gave me a liquor still
|
|
Whoa, yeah yeah yeah
|
What can a poor boy do
|
Ain't it hard, ain't it hard
|
When you have to live the blues
|
|
I call my baby on the telephone
|
She said come on over Stevie I'm all alone
|
I said I can't get my car started mama
|
|
Whoa, yeah
|
What can a poor boy do
|
When he has to live the blues
|
|
And while my baby's makin' it with my best friend
|
I know I'm being used, yeah yeah yeah
|
|
Lord have mercy
|
Lord have mercy on me
|
Lord have mercy
|
Lord have mercy on me, yeah
|
|
I'm tryin' to find my babe
|
Won't somebody please, yeah yeah
|
Won't somebody please bring her home to me
