You walk in, half past nine Lookin' like a queen Serving me with papers Calling me obscene Woman I've tried so hard Just to do my best They're gonna put me in the poor house And you'll take all the rest Up all day, down all night Working on the job Everything I do is wrong I always end up right Woman I try so hard Done all I can do They're gonna put me in the poor house Leave all the best for you
Ooo in the poor house Ooo in the poor house
If a drove a pulpwood truck Would you love me more? Will you bring me diamonds And hang around my door Woman, I've done my best They're ain't much left for me They're gonna put me in the poor house And throw away the key
Ooo in the poor house
You walk in, half past nine Lookin' like a queen Serving me with papers Calling me obscene Woman I've tried so hard Just to do my best They're gonna put me in the poor house And you'll take all the rest Up all day, down all night Working on the job Everything I do is wrong I always end up right Woman I try so hard Done all I can do They're gonna put me in the poor house Leave all the best for you
