Last Dime Blues by Blind Willie McTell Lyrics
Broke and ain't got a dime
Everybody get in hard luck sometime
Standin' on Cairo Street one day
One dime was all I had
Mama, don't treat your daughter mean
You're the meanest woman I have most ever seen
Do you want your friend to be buried like Jesse James
Give me two big pistols (on the way?) and a passenger
Train
One dime was all I had
Tryin' to be a sportin' man
I bought the mornin' news
And I bought (sounds like seagull but I might guess)
Seagram's too
Everybody get in hard luck sometime
Standin' on Cairo Street one day
One dime was all I had
Mama, don't treat your daughter mean
You're the meanest woman I have most ever seen
Do you want your friend to be buried like Jesse James
Give me two big pistols (on the way?) and a passenger
Train
One dime was all I had
Tryin' to be a sportin' man
I bought the mornin' news
And I bought (sounds like seagull but I might guess)
Seagram's too
