I'm catching hell out here, people and you know, I know it ain't right
I say, I'm catching hell out here, and people you know, I know it ain't right
'Cause I'm so broke, I'm so broke right now, that I can't even spend the night

My only son, I don't think he really know who I am
I said, my only son. I don't think, I don't think he really know who I am
Frankly speaking people, I don't think, I don't think he really gives a damn

Look-a here

I pawned my watch, and you know I pawned my doggone ring
I said, yes, I pawned my watch, baby you know I pawned, I pawned my doggone ring
You know I'm trying to ride this old rack-e-ty bike, and I don't even have a doggone chain

Look-a here

I'm catching hell, I'm catching hell, yeah, and people and you know that ain't right
I say, I'm catching hell, yeah, and people you know, you know, that ain't right
I'm so broke right now, that I can't even spend the night

Look-a here
