Last Two Dollars Songtext

von Johnnie Taylor

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
Got one for my bus fare
Other one for the jukebox

Yea yea i think i said that again

These last two dollars
Im not gonna lose
These last two dollars
I sho aint gonna lose
One goes for the bus fare
Other one for the jukebox
I gotta hear me some down home blues
