Oh lord, I say
(Matilda, Matilda, Matilda)
(She take all me money)
(And she move to Las Vegas)
One more time
(Matilda, Matilda, Matilda)
(She take all me money)
(And she move to Las Vegas)
I thought of all the friends I lost
The woman even stole me housing costs
Matilda done take all me money
And I run to Las Vegas
Where the money was to pay for my house and land
Then she dropped a serious plan
That's Matilda she take all me money
And I run to Las Vegas
That woman she ain't no good
She took all me money, never thought she would
My friends all told me what she would do
She'll steal from me and she'll steal from you
(Matilda, Matilda, Matilda)
(She take all me money)
(And she move to Las Vegas)
One more time, yeah
(Matilda, Matilda, Matilda)
(She take all me money)
(And she move to Las Vegas)
Oh, it’s alright now
(Matilda, Matilda, Matilda)
(She take all me money)
(And she move to Las Vegas)
Where the money was right inside me bed
Looked up in the mattress right below me head
That Matilda she done take all me money
And I run to Las Vegas
A fellow shout, be shoutin' at me head
He said, “Hey boy come on in inside your bedâ€
That Matilda she done found your money
And I run to Las Vegas
Bring it all back to me, now (Matilda)
Bring it all back to me, now (Matilda)
Bring it all back to me, now (Matilda)
(She take all me money and I move to Las Vegas)
Aw, try real hard
(Matilda, Matilda, Matilda)
(She take all me money)
(And she move to Las Vegas)
A little bit harder (Matilda)
A little bit softer (Matilda)
