You walk in, half past nine
|
Lookin' like a queen
|
Serving me with papers
|
Calling me obscene
|
Woman I've tried so hard
|
Just to do my best
|
They're gonna put me in the Poor House
|
And you'll take all the rest
|
Up all day, down all night
|
Working on the job
|
Everything I do is wrong
|
I always end up right
|
Woman I try so hard
|
Done all I can do
|
They're gonna put me in the Poor House
|
Leave all the best for you
|
|
Ooo in the poor house
|
Ooo in the poor house
|
|
If a drove a pulpwood truck
|
Would you love me more?
|
Will you bring me diamonds
|
And hang around my door
|
Woman, I've done my best
|
They're ain't much left for me
|
They're gonna put me in the Poor House
|
And throw away the key
|
|
Ooo in the poor house
|
|
You walk in, half past nine
|
Lookin' like a queen
|
Serving me with papers
|
Calling me obscene
|
Woman I've tried so hard
|
Just to do my best
|
They're gonna put me in the Poor House
|
And you'll take all the rest
|
Up all day, down all night
|
Working on the job
|
Everything I do is wrong
|
I always end up right
|
Woman I try so hard
|
Done all I can do
|
They're gonna put me in the Poor House
|
Leave all the best for you
