All my life I've been a poor boy; it's been hard to get a dime |
|
Everything I got I had to pay for it on time, but that's all right |
|
Long as I got a toe hold, long as I got a piece of you |
|
Long as I got a toe hold, I can make it through |
|
Look here, I said I went to see a doctor, baby talk about his malnutrition |
|
Now I don't try to be a fat man; I gotta look about my ambition, look here |
|
Long as I got a toe hold, long as I got a piece of you |
|
Long as I got a toe hold, I can make it through |
|
A li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li toe hold, a li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li toe hold, hey! |
|
So baby, if you're with me, let the whole world be against me |
|
I don't expect to ever get rich, I'm doin' fine, me diggin' a ditch; that's all right |
|
Long as I got a toe hold, long as I got a piece of you |
|
Long as I got a toe hold, I can make it through |
|
Ah, ooo baby, ow, good God! |
