Hole in my Pocket

HOLE IN MY POCKET

words and music by William O. Richardson

Got to work this morning thirty minutes late
Went to bed at nine o:clock tossed and turned till eight
Thinkin' 'bout a lot of things troublin' my mind
Never seem to get ahead know the reason why

Chorus:

There's a hole in my pocket where the money goes
It takes everything I got to buy the rich man's clothes
There's a hole in my pocket where the money goes

Landlord's gotta have it banker wants it too
Post man leavin' letters balance overdue
Monday make a payment on baby's diamond ring
Friday comes I get a check doesn't change a thing

Repeat Chorus:

Went to see the bossman to say I need a raise
He said I'd like to help you son but everybody pays
Accountant told me yesterday the company's in the red
Then the bossman looked at me this is what he said

Repeat Chorus:

Where the money goes
Where the money goes
Where the money goes
