I've been working so hard
Just came home from my job.
Looked down in my wallet
Good God, I've been robbed.
Now where can my money be
All my hard-earned pay?
What am I going to do now?
I got my bills to pay.
[Chorus:]
You got me singin' the blues
And I'm paying all my dues.
You got me singin' the blues
Ain't got nothing to lose.
I got to tell you I got the blues down in my pockets.
People, what did I say?
Bills are gonna rob me tomorrow
Why I need my ten dollars today.
[Chorus]
Ain't no way to get even
Because, you know what I mean
Every time I make me some money
Somebody's going to take it from me.
[Chorus 2x]
