I Did All I Could
Give you my money, my lovin' too.
Tryin' my best to pull you through.
Tell me baby, tell me baby, what more can a poor man do?
You tell me you'll be back in a minute,
Then you gone the whole night through.
I never scold you, tell me baby, what more can a poor man do?
I love you baby, I love you true.
But your ways will never do.
Bye-bye baby, bye-bye, this time I'm through.
Woke up this mornin', snow was on the ground.
Wanted you by my side, you was nowhere around.
Instead of helpin' me baby, looks like you tryin' to drag me down.
You treat me mean, low down and dirty too.
Some day you'll want me, but I can't use you.
I did all I could, tell me baby, what can a poor man do?
You say you love me, and your love is true.
The way you have shown it will never do.
Oh baby bye-bye, I mean this time I'm really through.
Tryin' my best to pull you through.
Tell me baby, tell me baby, what more can a poor man do?
You tell me you'll be back in a minute,
Then you gone the whole night through.
I never scold you, tell me baby, what more can a poor man do?
I love you baby, I love you true.
But your ways will never do.
Bye-bye baby, bye-bye, this time I'm through.
Woke up this mornin', snow was on the ground.
Wanted you by my side, you was nowhere around.
Instead of helpin' me baby, looks like you tryin' to drag me down.
You treat me mean, low down and dirty too.
Some day you'll want me, but I can't use you.
I did all I could, tell me baby, what can a poor man do?
You say you love me, and your love is true.
The way you have shown it will never do.
Oh baby bye-bye, I mean this time I'm really through.
