I got nothing

It’s tough to raise a farm when you don’t own the land

The toughest part of all is well paying the Man

Our crops took ill and so did my wife Sue

The Banker came by said “I needed some dough or you and Junior and his Mamma you’ll have to go”

“Now hurry on up cause I’s got things to do”

I said “Well I got nothing, nothing at all

I got a shoeless horse with a real bad back who just recovered from a heart attack

I got a worn out sander that was made by Black and Decker

Got a fat, blind rooster who can barely see his pecker….I got nothing”

Junior me and Mamma feelin’ down on our luck

With a horse, the dog and rooster in the back of the truck

We pulled off to the shoulder of the road

A red haired Mounty said “Your plates are expired…A fifty dollar bill from you is surely required”

“If you can’t pay I’ll have to get you towed

CH)

I said “Well I got nothing, nothing at all

I got a new transmission problem that is, got my lucky jar where I kept my cheese whiz

Got a dog with no legs and his name is Jim

It don’t really matter he won’t come when you call him….I got nothing

The walk to the city was a hell of a time

Farm, kin, truck and animals deep in my mind

We’re camped out here on Wilshire Avenue

A stranger with a gun stuck it in my bad rid

Said “I want your cash so’s I can pimp out my crib…Now hurry on up cause I’s got things to do”

CH)

I said “Well I got nothing, nothing at all

I got my luck jar but it’s not very clean

It’s got three uses if you know what I mean……I got nothing
