Lyrics It's Too Short - Leroy Carr

Now I'm down and out ain't got no friends around
Now I'm down and out ain't got no friends around
I'm going from door to door everybody turns me down

Now my woman she treats me like I'm a motherless child
Now my woman she treats me like I'm a motherless child
Now baby she don't give me a pleasant smile

Now here I am people all out in the ice and snow
Now here I am people all out in the ice and snow
My clothes all in pawn ain't got nowhere to go

She said she liked my music but my tune's too short
She said she liked my music but my tune's too short
But if she gets a long winded player she's sure to get caught

Now babe I can't help it if I can't play long
Now babe I can't help it if I can't play long
I'm just a skinny fellow and I ain't very strong
