| My goodtime friends have put me down
|
| I’m all alone in your town
|
| You know I don’t have no place to go The woman I love she don’t want me no more
|
| I’m just trying to explain
|
| I need a penny to call my baby
|
| You don’t seem to understand
|
| I need a penny to call my baby
|
| You know she asked me to call her on the phone
|
| She got the nerve to tell me she all alone
|
| I’m just trying to explain
|
| I need a penny to call my baby
|
| I’m just trying to make you understand
|
| I need a penny to call my baby
|
| Now I don’t have no peace of mind
|
| I’m just trying to seek what I can find
|
| I’m just trying to explain
|
| I need a penny to call my baby
|
| Now I want to tell you when I wake up in the morning
|
| And I find now baby I’m all by myself
|
| I feel so disatisfied
|
| When I go to work and I come home in the evening
|
| And there ain’t nobody there
|
| I feel so disatisfied
|
| Oh give me a penny baby, give me a penny baby
|
| My wife, now my wife she left me Give me a penny
|
| Give me a penny |
