Nickel And A Nail

歌詞

Oh, I once had love And a plenty of money, oh, yes I did But someway, somehow Lord knows I failed, yes I did Now all I have In my pocket, Lord have mercy All I can give account of Is a nickel and a nail I wanna say it one more time All, all I have is a nickel and a nail My friends, no, no, no, no They just don't know, Lord have mercy They still down in their hearts They think I'm doing swell, but they don't know 'Cause around them I smile And I jingle, yes I do All you hear me jingling Is a nickel and a nail, that's all it is Now a nickel and a nail Might save my pride, you see But the need for your sweet love, oh, baby Is hammering inside of me, oh You said a long time ago You think the thrill is gone, I couldn't believe it You said O.V., I think you better hit That old lonesome, lonesome, lonesome trail, I got to leave you Oh, baby, I'm wondering How do you expect for me to make it? I don't believe I will Oh, I can't make it, can't make it far With a nickel and a nail, that's all I have Oh, I can't sleep All I got baby, is a nickel and a nail If I get lonely I can spin a nickel, they will spin If I get in trouble, if I get in [unverified] I will have enough money to call my baby Oh, baby, oh, you left me with the people and me I can't go too far Oh, baby, baby, I can't go too far A nickel and a nail
