I'm broke and ain't got a dime
I'm broke and I ain't got a dime
I'm broke, ain't got a dime
Everybody gets his hard luck sometime
I was standin' on East Cairo Street one day
I was standing on East Cairo Street one day
Standing on East Cairo Street one day
One dime was all I had
Mama, don't treat your daughter mean
Mama, don't treat your daughter mean
Mama, don't treat your daughter mean
That's the meanest woman a man most ever seen
You want your friend to be bad like Jesse James?
You want your friend to be bad like Jesse James?
You want your friend to be bad like Jesse James?
Get two six shooters, highway some passenger train
One dime was all I had
One dime was all I had
One dime was all I had
Tryin' to be a sportin' lad
I bought that Morning News, Lord
I bought that Morning News
I bought that Morning News
Then I bought a cigar too
