When I Had Money by Big Bill Broonzy Lyrics

I listened to my baby
When she was telling me her dreams
I listened to my baby
When she was telling me her dreams
Lord everything now
Baby would be peaches and cream

I had money on the horses
Money on one two three
I had money on the horses
Money on one two three
Now my water got muddy
And my horse run into a stream

Now when I had money
I had friends and a real good home
When I had money
I had friеnds and a real good home
Lord I done lost my monеy
Babe my friends and home is gone
Lord my mother tried
Lord to make me do right
My mother tried
Lord to make me do right
Lord I would stay drunk all day
Baby and I wouldn't come home at night

Lord if I had listened to my mother
Lord what she say
Lord if I had listened to my mother
Lord what she say
Lord I would not have been here no
Baby laying in this old hospital bed
