Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A lady at the casino
She lost all her money
She said, "don't feel sorry for me, no
Don't feel sorry, honey
[Verse 2]
But if you wanna do a lady a favor
Here's what I want you to do
Just loan me two dollars, oh
Until the next time I see you
[Verse 3]
But these last two dollars
I'm not gonna lose
These last two dollars
I'm not gonna lose
One's going for my bus fare
Other one for the jukebox
To hear me some blues
Gonna hear me some blues"
[Verse 4]
She said, "I wouldn't be over here
My man had been treating me right
I came here to try to catch him, yeah
'Cause he's been sneaking around every night
[Verse 5]
But I got caught over here, yeah
Got caught up in this scene
And I put all of my money
In that doggone gambling machine
[Verse 6]
But these last two dollars
I'm not gonna lose
These last two dollars
I'm not gonna lose
One's going for my bus fare
And the other for the jukebox
I got to hear me some down home blues, oh Lord"
[Verse 7]
Last two dollars
Not gonna lose
Last two dollars
Not gonna lose
Bus fare, jukebox, hear some blues
[Verse 8]
Lady at the casino
Lost all her money, yeah
She said, "Don't feel sorry
Don't feel sorry, honey
[Verse 9]
If you wanna do a lady a favor
Here's what I want you to do
Just loan me two dollars, he
Until the next time I see you
[Verse 10]
But these last two dollars
I'm not gonna lose
These last two dollars
I'm not gonna lose
One's for my bus fare
Other one for the jukebox
To hear me some blues, oh yeah
[Verse 11]
These last two dollars
I'm not gonna lose
These last two dollars
I'm not gonna lose
I've learned my lesson
And now, baby, I wanna hear some blue
All right, now
[Verse 12]
These last two dollars, no
I'm not gonna lose
These last two dollars
I sure ain't gonna lose
Got one for my bus fare
Other one for the jukebox
I gotta hear me some blues
Yeah, yeah, I think I said that again
[Verse 13]
These last two dollars
I'm not gonna lose
These last two dollars
Sure ain't gonna lose
One goes for the bus fare
Other one for the jukebox
I gotta hear me some down home blues
