Had a sweet little girl, I lose my baby, boy ain’t that bad
Had a sweet little girl, I lose my baby, boy ain’t that bad
You can’t spend what you ain’t got
You can’t lose some little girl you ain’t never had
Had money in the bank, I got busted, people ain’t that bad
Had money in the bank, I got busted, people ain’t that bad
You can’t spend what you ain’t got
You can’t lose some little girl you ain’t never had
Ain’t that the truth boys
Had a sweet little home, it got burned down, people ain’t that bad
My own fault, people ain’t that bad
Well you know you can’t spend what you ain’t got
You can’t lose some blues you ain’t never had
Have mercy!
Sweet little home, got burned down, people ain’t that bad
Yeah you know I had a sweet little home, it got burned down, people ain’t that
bad
Whoa you know you can’t spend what you ain’t got
You can’t lose some little girl you ain’t never had
Once I had a pretty little girl
I lose my baby, ain't that sad?
Oh, you know, once I had a pretty little girl
I lose my baby, ain't that sad?
Well, you know, you can't spend what you ain't got
You can't lose what you ain't never had
I had money in the bank
I got busted, boys, ain't that sad?
Oh, you know, I had some money in the bank
I got busted, baby, ain't that bad?
Well, you know, you can't spend what you ain't got
You can't lose what you ain't never had
I had a sweet little home
It got burned down, boys, ain't that bad?
Oh, you know, was my own fault
People, they just said
Well, you know, you can't spend what you ain't got
You can't lose what you ain't never had
I met Muddy Waters on July 4th, 1976 and sang with him for the first time about two weeks later at The Shaboo Inn, Willimantic, CT. I continued to sit in with him until he passed away. He was...and STILL IS a HUGE influence on my music. I miss him terribly and often wish that I could jam with him one last time. R.I.P. dear friend!
