It was when I was a sweet little baby And the ground was covered with snow (Repeat) My mama put me out And you don't have no place to go Well didn't have no money, darlin' And my shoes had worn thin (Repeat) I didn't have a decent pair of trousers To go to Sunday School in Well I put on my hat, baby And I didn't even frown (Repeat) I ain't known one woman Who can keep a good man down Well I've got a break, baby And. things are comin' my way (Repeat) I've got money in my pocket, darlin' And I can change clothes every day
