It's Too Short

Now I'm down and out, ain't got no friends around

Now I'm down and out, ain't got no friends around

I'm going from door to door, everybody turns me down

Now my woman she treats me like I'm a motherless child

Now my woman she treats me like I'm a motherless child

Now baby she don't give me a pleasant smile

Now here I am people, all out in the ice and snow

Now here I am people, all out in the ice and snow

My clothes all in pawn, ain't got nowhere to go

She said she liked my music but my tune's too short

She said she liked my music but my tune's too short

If she gets a long winded player, she's sure to get caught

Now babe I can't help it if I can't play long

Now babe I can't help it if I can't play long

I'm just a skinny fellow and I ain't very strong

Ah beat it on out, boys

Lay your racket, Jack

Feed me boy

Ah, that's the trouble

I can't help it if my tune's too short

Baby, let me play it again
