It's great to be rich and a doggone shame to be poor
It's great to be rich and a doggone shame to be poor
It's a lowdown dirty deal when your woman don't want you no more

I tried to please her but it only made her mad
I tried to please her but it only made her mad
She done strip me and took everything I had

Now what you gonna do with a woman like that?
Now what you gonna do with a woman like that?
Who takes all your money yes and leaves you flat?

Yes it's great to be rich and a doggone shame to be poor
It's a lowdown dirty deal when your woman don't want you no more
Now it was money in the morning, and money every night

If I didn't have no money, she was ready to fight
It's great to be rich and a doggone shame to be poor
It's a lowdown dirty deal when your woman don't want you no more
