Gimme a Penny - Take 6
Yes, I'm alone in this new town
My good time buddies have put me down
I need a penny to call my man
You know I need a penny, don't you understand?
My baby told me when I left home
That he watches me at the telephone
I need a penny so very bad
Just a penny, child, that would make me glad
My baby told me when I left home, haha
That he would kneel at the telephone
I'm talkin' about a penny, don't you understand?
I need a penny to call my man
Hey, hey and a penny would make me glad
Just one penny, yeah
Give me one penny, somebody
Perhaps I should get myself a walking cane
Child, and big mama can pretend that she was lame
And maybe somebody would give me a penny
Hey, hey, a penny to call my man
I got a nine cent to my name
I need a penny, ain't that a shame?
Hey, hey, oh you know it
I got nine cent to my name, baby
I need one penny, ain't that a shame?
I see one penny in my hand, hahaha
Of a blind man
And take one penny to get me to my man
Take one penny and then you'll get my man
Hey, hey, one penny to get another drink of wine
Oh yeah
My good time buddies have put me down
I need a penny to call my man
You know I need a penny, don't you understand?
My baby told me when I left home
That he watches me at the telephone
I need a penny so very bad
Just a penny, child, that would make me glad
My baby told me when I left home, haha
That he would kneel at the telephone
I'm talkin' about a penny, don't you understand?
I need a penny to call my man
Hey, hey and a penny would make me glad
Just one penny, yeah
Give me one penny, somebody
Perhaps I should get myself a walking cane
Child, and big mama can pretend that she was lame
And maybe somebody would give me a penny
Hey, hey, a penny to call my man
I got a nine cent to my name
I need a penny, ain't that a shame?
Hey, hey, oh you know it
I got nine cent to my name, baby
I need one penny, ain't that a shame?
I see one penny in my hand, hahaha
Of a blind man
And take one penny to get me to my man
Take one penny and then you'll get my man
Hey, hey, one penny to get another drink of wine
Oh yeah
