(J McCoy / Morris Chappell)

You had plenty money
Nineteen fourty one

You lost it all
And then, where do you run?
Why don't you do right?
Like some other men do?
Get out of here and
get me some money too

Yo'sittin' down wondering
what it's all about
If you ain't got no money
they will put you out
Why don't you do right?
Like some other men do?
Just get out of here and
get me some money too

If you had prepared
twenty years ago
You wouldn't have wand'ring
now from do'to do'
Why don't you do right?
Like some other men do?
Get out of here and
get me some money too

Why don't you do right?
Like some other men do?
Like some other men do?
Like some other men do?
