Idle hours Idle hours Yes I'm sinkin' Sinkin' Sinkin' down below I can't get no peace of mind No matter where I go Everything 's gone wrong And my head's goin' 'round an' 'round Everything's gone wrong And my head's goin' 'round an' 'round I ain't had nothin' But bad luck baby every since you hit this town You said you love me Do anything I say Baby you said that you love me Do anything I say But you see I'm deaf Dumb and blind An' you tryin' to put me in my grave You no good to me in your grave You blind an' you say you cannot see You no good to me in your grave An' you blind an' ya say you cannot see But if you mess up with my money baby I'm gonna put you where you ought to be I'll give you my money Wash and scrub your foors Open a clothes account So you can buy some pretty clothes You can keep your money I'll keep my dirty floors Keep on wearin' my secondhand clothes Because I'm tired tired as I can be Yeah you an' your friend Ain't got no trade for me Say you deaf and dumb And your mind is weak You say you deft and dumb You say your mind is weak But if you mess up with my money baby Yes I'm goin' make you plainly speak
