Songtexte Money Blues - Bessie Smith

Damn your brawl
From way down
In Tennessee
Had a wife
Made his life
Full of misery

Now, your girl sure could sing
And as she moaned the blues
And some said I sure like to hear
Except these here bad news

Daddy, I need money, give it to you honey
Daddy, I need money now

All day long, I hear that song
Oh, I'm pretty sure for if I go wrong
Fast as I can lend it, how you like to spend it
It just appears somehow

I've got the money
You've got champagne
If you don't stop spending
I will have to waste

Daddy, I need money, give it to you honey
Daddy, I need money now
Daddy, I need money now
Daddy, I need money, give it to you honey
Daddy, I need money now

All day long, I hear that song
I'm pretty sure for if I go wrong
Fast as I can lend it, how you like to spend it
It just appears somehow

I've got the money
You like champagne
If you don't stop spending
I will have to waste

Daddy, I need money, give it to you honey
I need a small piece of money now
I can use a piece of small change now
