Nickel and a Nail

Lyrics

Oh I once had love
 And plenty of money
 But some way, some how
 Lord knows I failed
 Oh yes I did
 Now all I have
 In my pocket
 All I can give account of
 Is a nickel and a nail
 Oh yeah lemme say it again
 All I can give account of
 Is a nickel and a nail
 My friends no no no
 They just don't know
 They sit down in my house
 And they think I'm doing swell
 But they don't know
 Every time I smile, every time I smile
 I jingle
 All that they can hear is a nickel and a nail
 Oh that's all it is
 Now a nickel and a nail
 Just might save my privacy
 But the need for your sweet lovin
 Oh baby it's got its hooks deep inside of me
 You said a long time ago
 That you're thinking the thrill is gone
 You said oh baby baby
 I think you better hit that lonesome lonesome lonesome trail
 But oh baby I'm wondering
 How do you expect me to make it
 I can't make it far with a nickel and a nail
 You know I can't make it far with a nickel and a nail
