Foster Ruthie - Nickel and A Nail lyrics

Oh I once had love And plenty of money But some way, some how Lord knows I failed Oh yes I did Now all I have In my pocket All I can give account of Is a nickel and a nail Oh yeah lemme say it again All I can give account of Is a nickel and a nail My friends no no no They just don't know They sit down in my house And they think I'm doing swell But they don't know Every time I smile, every time I smile I jingle All that they can hear is a nickel and a nail Oh that's all it is Now a nickel and a nail Just might save my privacy But the need for your sweet lovin Oh baby it's got its hooks deep inside of me You said a long time ago That you're thinking the thrill is gone You said oh baby baby I think you better hit that lonesome lonesome lonesome trail But oh baby I'm wondering How do you expect me to make it I can't make it far with a nickel and a nail You know I can't make it far with a nickel and a nail
