Broke Man's Blues
 

Just another evening : wasted away
Spending and a‑lending : and it left me broke today

Run here pretty mama : sit down on your daddy's knee
I'll tell you : how these women made a perfect fool of me

I wasted lots of money : went out every night
My pals done all forsake me : and the times is getting tight

I'm feeling like an outcast : looking like a tramp
Can't price a post card : can't even buy a stamp

Ah you used to call me papa : you used to call me dunce
You used to call me daddy : and you used to love me once

Some folks need the ice : some folks need the snow
If I could get you back : mama I wouldn't need nothing more
