Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You walk in, half past nine
Lookin' like a queen
Servin' me with papers
Callin' me obscene
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Up all day, down all night
Workin' on the job
Everything I do is wrong
I always end up robbed
[Verse 4]
Woman, I've tried so hard
Done all I can do
They're gonna put me in the poor house
Keep all the best for you
[Verse 5]
Whoa-oh, in the poor house
Whoa-oh, in the poor house
[Verse 6]
If I drove a pulpwood truck
Would you love me more?
Would you bring me diamonds
And hang around my door?
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
In the poor house
Whoa-oh, in the poor house
[Verse 9]
You walk in, half past nine
Lookin' like a queen
Servin' me with papers
Callin' me obscene
[Verse 10]
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
[Verse 11]
In the poor house
Whoa-oh, in the poor house
In the poor house
Whoa-oh, in the poor house
