Abbey Lincoln - In The Red
Can't raise a dime
Can't pay the bills
I got no time
No account bank account
That's got me flying low
Sure makes a poor man's weight
A hard row, tow
They say to keep on smiling
When trouble comes in twos
Rich folks say to keep on smiling
But poor folks pay the dues
No account, bank account
I'm broke and bent
Know the lord provides
The rent ain't heaven sent
They say to keep on smiling
When trouble comes in twos
Rich folks say to keep on smiling
But poor folks pay the dues
No account, bank account
I'm broke and bent
Know the lord provides
The rent ain't heaven sent
On no account, bank account
Will make you change your ways
There won't be no peace of mind
'Til I see better days
