If You Ain't Got Nothin'

Chorus:
            E
Well if you aint got nothin, you aint got nothin to lose
                                                  B
There aint no pleasure in singin these low down blues
E                                              A
Smokin that get down and bummin them Red Man chews
       E                      B                    E
If you aint got nothin, you aint got nothin to lose

Daddy was a freeloader workin for the railroad line
I grew up listenin to Brother, can you spare me a dime
The oil situation and the worlds inflation and the bomb would be bad news
But when you aint got nothin, you aint got nothin to lose

Chorus

I used to work my fingers to the bone
I had everything that me and the bank could own
But a sweaty blue collar and a deflated dollar aint no way to pay your dues
But if  you aint got nothin, you aint got nothin to lose
