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
