A Nickel And A Nail

I once had love and plenty of money
 Yes I did.
 Someway, somehow I know I failed
 Yes I did
 Now all, all I have in my pocket,
 All I can give account of
 Is a nickel and a nail
 All, all I have is a nickel and a nail
 My friends, oh no-no-no
 They just don't know.
 The feel, deep down in their hearts
 They think I'm doing swell
 But they don't know
 'Cause
 Every now and then I smile
 And I jingle
 Yes I do
 All you hear me jingeling
 Is a nickel and a nail
 A nickel and a nail,
 My chain, my price to see
 But I still,
 Feel the need to be loved, baby
 Hammering inside of me
 A nickel and a nail,
 My chain, my price to see
 But I still,
 Feel the need to be loved, baby
 Hammering inside of me
 You said a long time ago,
 You said the dream was gonna be believed
 You said "you'll see"
 I think you better get that on,
 On some lonesome, lonesome trail.
 You gotta leave here.
 Oh baby I'm wondering
 How d'you expect for me to make it,
 I don't believe I will.
 Oh baby I can't make it,
 On a nickel and a nail
 If I get sleepy
 All I've got baby
 Is a nickel and a nail
 If I get lonely
 I can bend the nickel
 The nail won't spin.
 If I get in trouble
 If I get in jail
 I would have enough money
 To pay my bail
 Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
 They gone too far.
 Said "they gone too far".
 Can't do it.
 They gone too far.
