Verse 2
"Don't you know that we're down
To the last cup of flour in the barrel?"
And she said "Man,
don't you know
Of lard left in the can? And yet, and still
money we got saved
And stay out all night and drink?
You know
You haven't worked
in goin' on six months
time ago
That I wouldn't leave my
I let you stay here and drink
up all the rest
Of that little money that we got saved
But I'm gonna stand by my children
And I can see that poor
With four little arms
Mumbling something to himself
And I don't know what
he's sayin'
But I can imagine in my mind
"I'm gonna get me a job
Early in the mornin'
I'm not gonna make my children
Pay for my mistakes"
And I'd be less than a father if
I made 'em pay for my
mistakes"

ask to come here) "You see
My children didn't ask to
"And who knows
I might have to turn back on 'em

ooh Lord

It ain't right it ain't right"
