Beggar's Blues

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy


Ain't got no money to get a shave 
Ain't got no time to get a job 
I drink my whisky; I drink my wine 
I left my worries far behind 

I'm feelin' hungry; I'm feelin' broke 
If you could spare one, I could surely use a smoke 
I got no history; I got no past 
If you don't help me, don't think I'll last 

I got to get more time 
To drink a bit more wine 
I've got the perfect crime 
Brother can you spare a dime? 

You see me standin' on your street 
My hands are open; I got nothin' there to eat 
I drink my whiskey; I drink my wine 
I want the band to play when I die
