| Well, I put you behind the wheel of a deuce and a quarter, yes I did |
| Had you living like a rich man’s daughter, yes I did, I sure did |
| While you were living high on the hog |
| You had me down here scuffling like a dog |
| Well, the very thing that makes you rich makes me poor |
| The very thing that makes you rich makes me poor |
| Don’t you never ever make such a bad mistake |
| You know I’d rather climb into bed with a rattlesnake |
| Then to work hard every day bringing that woman all my pay |
| The very thing that makes you rich makes me poor |
| Makes me so damn poor |
| The thing that makes her rich makes me poor |
| The very thing that makes you rich make me poor |
| Very thing that makes you rich makes me poor |
| Makes me so damned poor |
| Money won’t change it, no no… |
