A Nickel And A Nail |
| 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 |
| 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 |
