One Dime Blues

I'm broke and ain't got a dime

I'm broke and I ain't got a dime

I'm broke, ain't got a dime

Everybody gets his hard luck sometime

I was standing on East Cairo Street one day

I was standing on East Cairo Street one day

Standing on East Cairo Street one day

One dime was all I had

Mama, don't treat your daughter mean

Mama, don't treat your daughter mean

Mama, don't treat your daughter mean

That's the meanest woman a man most ever seen

You want your friend to be bad like Jesse James?

You want your friend to be bad like Jesse James?

You want your friend to be bad like Jesse James?

Get two six shooters, highway some passenger train

One dime was all I had

One dime was all I had

One dime was all I had

Tryin' to be a sportin' lad

I bought that Morning News, Lord

I bought that Morning News

I bought that Morning News

Then I bought a cigar too
