I'm out to get your greenback dollar |
| [00:04.94] |
|
| [00:05.71] |
I'm out to get your silver change |
| [00:09.62] |
|
| [00:10.97] |
I'm out to get your long black limo |
| [00:14.92] |
|
| [00:16.05] |
You kept me down on my knees too long |
| [00:19.76] |
|
| [00:21.05] |
Now my daddy before me he worked like I work |
| [00:25.10] |
|
| [00:25.95] |
He was worked to death forty years or so |
| [00:29.73] |
|
| [00:31.07] |
Now my mama she died from grieving over him |
| [00:35.42] |
|
| [00:36.22] |
How old she was I never did know |
| [00:40.21] |
|
| [00:41.19] |
I'm out to get your greenback dollar |
| [00:45.26] |
|
| [00:46.43] |
I'm out to get your silver change |
| [00:50.27] |
|
| [00:51.41] |
I'm out to get your long black limo |
| [00:55.46] |
|
| [00:56.66] |
You kept me down on my knees too long |
| [01:00.09] |
|
| [01:01.53] |
Now the building you own you won at gambling |
| [01:05.69] |
|
| [01:06.52] |
On dice and horses and ticker-tape machines |
| [01:10.28] |
|
| [01:11.81] |
But that's no sign that you are smarter than I am |
| [01:16.19] |
|
| [01:16.80] |
I'm going to show you just what I mean |
| [01:20.44] |
|
| [01:21.69] |
I'm out to get your easy money |
| [01:25.64] |
|
| [01:26.95] |
I'm out to get my share of your gold |
| [01:30.95] |
|
| [01:31.95] |
I'm out to get my whiskey and women |
| [01:37.13] |
I'm going to get back my life you stole |
| [01:40.90] |
|
| [01:42.05] |
Now I went to the judge |
| [01:43.35] |
|
| [01:44.49] |
And I talked with the tenants |
| [01:46.46] |
|
| [01:47.35] |
We told him we had no hot water in the sink |
| [01:50.80] |
|
| [01:52.20] |
He spent a half an hour upon his bench there |
| [01:56.69] |
|
| [01:57.50] |
To tell us what a fine reputation our landlord's got |
| [02:01.54] |
|
| [02:02.43] |
But I'm out to get your long green tender |
| [02:06.67] |
|
| [02:07.57] |
I'm out to get your round town car |
| [02:11.86] |
|
| [02:12.56] |
I'm out to fight and win a good job and wages |
| [02:16.66] |
|
| [02:17.49] |
And a six room twin bed flat with a built in bar |
| [02:21.58] |
|
| [02:22.76] |
Now I told that judge how you played the horses |
| [02:26.97] |
|
| [02:27.80] |
How you won this apartment building here |
| [02:31.27] |
|
| [02:33.08] |
How you took our money and headed to Florida |
| [02:37.67] |
|
| [02:38.42] |
To lay in the sun with women while we freeze here |
| [02:42.56] |
|
| [02:43.53] |
So I'm out to get your excess bacon |
| [02:48.01] |
|
| [02:48.71] |
I'm out to get my cut from you |
| [02:52.43] |
|
| [02:53.57] |
I'm going to walk and talk and tell all my neighbors |
| [02:58.78] |
How they ought to talk right up for their cut too |
| [03:02.59] |
|
| [03:03.91] |
It won't be with no gun nor gambling wheel sir |
| [03:08.03] |
|
| [03:09.07] |
That I will use to relieve you of your till |
| [03:12.74] |
|
| [03:14.17] |
It will be in a nice friendly way with all my neighbors |
| [03:18.65] |
|
| [03:19.40] |
Smelling and barking brother up and down your hill |
| [03:23.49] |
|
| [03:24.57] |
And you can't hide along no oceans |
| [03:28.82] |
|
| [03:29.46] |
And you can't hide in no desert for long |
| [03:33.18] |
|
| [03:34.17] |
We're out to get back |
| [03:35.83] |
|
| [03:36.52] |
Every penny that you won gambling |
| [03:38.89] |
|
| [03:39.58] |
Because we can't live landlord on a race horse song |
| [03:43.42] |
|
| [03:44.40] |
Because we can't live landlord on a race horse song |
| [03:48.73] |
