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
