Lyrics

You had a-plenty money, 1922

You let other women make a fool of you

Why don't you do right like some other men do?

Get out of here, and get me some money too

You're sitting down, wondering what it's all about

You ain't got no money, they will put you out

Why don't you do right like some other men do?

Get out of here, and get me some money too

If you had prepared twenty years ago

You wouldn't be wanderin' now from door to door

Why don't you do right like some other men do?

Get out of here, and get me some money too

I fell for your jivin', and I took you in

Now all you got to offer me's a drink of gin

Why don't you do right like some other men do?

Get out of here, and get me some money too

Why don't you do right like some other men do?

Like some other men do
