Dollar Blues Songtext
von Hook Herrera

I′m tryin' so hard now, baby
Man, just to keep you inside my house
I′m tryin' so hard now, baby
Man, just to keep you inside my house
When I open that front door
My baby runnin' ′fore she hit the ground

I′m workin' all week long, man
Don′t you know, workin' hard
Just to try to make me a dollar

I′m workin' so hard, man
All week long, sweat like a dog
Just to make a dollar
That don′t go far, man
And I got to come home
Hungry, man, so tired
Just to hear my baby holler
Oh, Lord


When I met you, darlin'
Baby, you treat me, man, so nice and kind
When I first met my sweet little baby
Don't you know, little girl
Was just like a flower
Now my baby, she tryin′ to kill me
And all she can think to do is holler
I will holler and have mercy, too
Baby, I need a little mercy
Oh, no

When she cries, she sound like this, man
She say
And I just can′t help myself
Man
That's my baby

I′ma try one more time with you, baby
I'ma do everything, man
That you asked me to do
I′ma try one more time if you let me, baby
Man, I do everything that you say
That I know that you know I know
I got to do

But if that don't work no more, honey
Look out
You can bet your dollars
I′m through with you
