Love, Life And Money

(Dixon & Glover) From the Alligator album "3rd Degree" (recorded 1986) and the Alligator Records 25th Anniversary Collection. It features Dr. John on piano. The song was originally cut by Little Willie John.

Life has made me
Pay an awful price
I tried to gamble with ya
But you was using crooked dice

Somebody gotta suffer
Somebody sure gotta feel some pain
If it's gonna rain down misery
How come it always fall on me?

Money, you made me
Some very fast friends
And just like you made them
You're gonna break them in the end

Somebody gotta suffer
Somebody sure gotta feel some pain
If it's gonna rain down misery
How come it all has to fall on me?

I've had my share
Of love, life and money
Lost all three ways
I'm here to tell you that sure ain't funny

Me and my money parted
So did my love and I
Life don't mean a thing
And I wished that I could die

Life did made
A whole lotta fools
Always teaching something
That you never learn in school

Somebody gotta suffer
Somebody sure gotta feel some pain
If it's gonna rain down misery
How come it all has to fall on me?
