Last two dollars


A lady at the casino
She lost all of her money
She said don't feel sorry for me..no
Don't feel sorry honey

But if you want to do a lady a favor
Here's what I want you to do
Just loan me 2 dollars
Until the next time I see you.

Chorus:
But these last 2 dollars
I'm not gonna lose
These last 2 dollars
I'm not gonna lose
One's going for my bus fare
Other one for the jukebox
To hear me some blues

She said I wouldn't be over here
If my man had been treating me right
I came here to try to catch him, yeah
'Cause he's been sneaking around every night

But I got caught up over here
Got caught up in this scene
And put all of my money
In that doggone gambling machine

Chorus
But these last 2 dollars
I'm not gonna lose
These last 2 dollars
I'm not gonna lose
One's going for my bus fare
Other one for the jukebox
To hear me some blues

Verse 3
lady at the casino
lost all of her money yeah
She said don't feel sorry
Don't feel sorry honey

if you want to do a lady a favor
Here's what I want you to do
Just loan me 2 dollars
Until the next time I see you.

Chorus
But these last 2 dollars
I'm not gonna lose
These last 2 dollars
I'm not gonna lose
One's for my bus fare
Other one for the jukebox
To hear me some blues ...oh yea

these last 2 dollars
I'm not gonna lose
These last 2 dollars
I'm not gonna lose
I've learned my lesson and now baby
I wanna hear some blues
alright now

These last 2 dollars ...naw
I'm not gonna lose
These last 2 dollars
I sho aint gone lose
