I should know to leave them home

They follow me through the store with these toys

I can't afford Kids take them back you know

better than that

Dolls that talk astronauts TV games

airplanes they don't understand and

how can I explain I try and try

but I can't save Pennies nickels dollars

slip away I've tried and tried but I can't save

My youngest girl has bad fever sure

All night with alcohol trying to

cool and to rub her down

Ruby I'm tired try and get some sleep

I'm adding doctor's fees to remedie

to the cost of three day's work lost I try and try

but I can't save Pennies nickels dollars slip away

I've tried and tried but

I can't save The hole in my pocketbook is growing

There's a new wind blowing they say

it's gonna be a cold cold one

brace yourselves my darlings

it won't bring anything much our way but more

dust bowl days

I played a card in this weeks game

Took the first and the last letters

in three of their names

This lottery's been building up for weeks I could be

lucky me with the five million prize

tears of disbelief spilling out of my

eyes I try and try but I can't save

Pennies nickels dollars slip away I've

tried and tried but I can't save

The hole in my pocketbook is growing

There's a new wind blowing they say

it's gonna be a cold cold one

brace yourselves my darlings

There's a new wind blowing they say

it's gonna be a cold cold one

brace yourselves my darlings

it's gonna be a cold cold one

There's a new wind blowing they say

it's gonna be a cold cold one

brace yourselves my darlings

it won't bring anything much our way but more

dust bowl
