I've been working all my life, folks, saved every nickel I could get
I've been working all my life, folks, saved every nickel I could get
Thought someday I'd have a nest egg, but my home will be the poorhouse yet
Got my money every Saturday, Monday morning took it to the bank
Got my money every Saturday, Monday morning took it to the bank
Now that doggone bank gone busted, every nickel that I saved done sank
Lord, it's hard to lose your money, when you've scraped and scrambled like I've done
Lord, it's hard to lose your money, when you've scraped and scrambled like I've done
Make a preacher leave his pulpit, trade his bible for a Gatlin gun
Goin' down to the cashiers window, goin' down with blood in both my eyes
Goin' down to the cashiers window, goin' down with blood in both my eyes
And if I don't get my money, gonna cut that man down to my size
Let me tell you, folks, there's two things, two things that I just can't stand
Let me tell you, folks, there's two things, two things that I just can't stand
One's messing with my money, other's messing 'round with my good man
