I've been working so hard,
Just came home from my job.
Looked down in my wallet,
Good God, I've been robbed.

Now where can my money be,
All my hard-earned pay?
What am I going to do now?
I got my bills to pay.

You got me singin' the blues,
And I'm paying all my dues.
You got me singin' the blues,
Ain't got nothing to lose.

I got to tell you I got the blues down in my pockets.
People, what did I say?
Bills are gonna rob me tomorrow,
Why I need my ten dollars today.

Chorus

Ain't no way to get even
Because, you know what I mean,
Every time I make me some money
Somebody's going to take it from me.

I’ve been working so hard
Just came home from my job
I look down in my wallet
Goddamit I been bought
Where can my money be now
Five of the week’s long work
What can I do now
I got so many bills to pay
You got me singing the blues
And I’m paying all my dues
You got me singing the blues
And I’m paying all my dues, yeah

I got to tell you that
The blues reached out of my pocket
People, oh what a shame
The bills are gonna rob me tomorrow
That’s why I need my ten dollars today
You got me singing the blues
And I’m paying all my dues
You got me singing the blues
And I’m paying all my dues

The blues reached out of my pocket
People, oh what a shame
The bills are gonna rob me tomorrow
That’s why I need my ten dollars today
You got me singing the blues
And I’m paying all my dues
You got me singing the blues
And I’m paying all my dues

You got to singing,
Singing in the morning
Singing in the new day
You got to singing yeah
You got singing
The blues reached out of my pocket
People, oh what a shame
The bills are gonna rob me tomorrow
That’s why I need my ten dollars today
You got me singing the blues
And I’m paying all my dues
You got me singing the blues
Baby I’m gonna singing,
Singing in the morning
