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 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 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
