lyrics

====================================================

I'm broke and ain't got a dime . . .
I'm broke and ain't got a dime . . .
Broke and ain't got a dime . . .
Everybody gets in hard luck sometimes!

I was standin' out on Congress St. one day . . .
Standin' out on Congress St. one day . . .
I was standin' out on Congress St. one day . . .
One dime was all I had!

Mama, don't treat your daughter mean . . .
Mama, don't treat your daughter mean . . .
Said mama, don't treat your daughter mean . . .
You's the meanest woman a man's most ever seen!

Do you want your friend to end up like Jesse James?
Do you want your friend to end up like Jesse James?
Do you want your friend to end up like Jesse James?
Now it's hey, hey, hey, hey!

One dime was all I had . . .
One dime was all I had . . .
One dime was all I had . . .
Tryin' to be a sporty lad!

I bought the morning news, lord . . .
I bought the morning news . . .
Bought that morning news . . .
I bought a cigar, too!

Now I'm broke and ain't got a dime. . .
I'm broke and ain't got a dime . . .
I'm broke and ain't got a dime . . .
Everybody gets in hard luck sometimes!
