D                                  D7
Aint't got no mon-ey, ain't got no grub,
              G7                    D
Back-bone and navel doin' the belly rub.

The pot was empty, the cupboard bare,
             G7                    D
Said, "Mama, mama, what's goin' on here"?
      G7          D   F#7  B7
After all my hard tra vel-'in,

Sister was sick, Doc wouldn't come,
            G7                 D
We couldn't pay him the proper sum.
          G7          D   F#7  B7
Now after all my hard tra vel-'in,
E7           A7        D  A7

Worked all this Summer, worked all this Fall,
                 G7                      D
Gotta' make this Christmas in these over-alls.
           G7         D   F#7  B7

The rent was due, the lights was out,
             G7                      D

One of these days, it won't be long,
               G7                D
You'll call my name, and I'll be gone.
