Nine Below Zero

Ain't this a pity?

People, ain't this a damn cryin' shame?

Oh yes, ain't this a pity?

People, you know it's a damn cryin' shame

Well, you know it's nine below zero

And this woman done put me down for another man

Well, I give her all my money

All of my lovin' and everything

Yes, I give her all of my money

People, I give her all of my lovin' and everything

Well, you know, it's nine below zero

And she done put me down for another man

She lied to me

She did not tell me everything

Oh yeah, oh yeah, she lied to me

Loot at her, the little girl didn't tell me everything

Well, you know, I'm nine below zero

And she put me down for another man

Ain't this a pity?

People, this a damn cryin' shame

Oh yes, ain't this a pity?

People, you know it's a damn cryin' shame

She wait till I got nine below zero

And this little girl done put me down for another man

Alright now

Somebody gotta help me now

I can't do it by myself

Gonna retire down in Louisiana

Layin' out there in the fallin' rain

And the swamps too

Yes, I'm gon' retire down in Louisiana

Oh yes, I'm layin' out there in the fallin' rain

You know I'm nine below zero, yeah, Chicago

And my love don't mean a thing
