Sonny Boy - spoken:



Who is that knockin` on that do`?

I believe that, that`s collector man

Man, go tell him I ain`t got a dime, t`day

Tell him I ain`t made a penny all this week

Tell him I`m just as broke as I can be

Or just knock `em down

Tell him but I have some money, sometime.





Sonny Boy - sings:



Now go open the door

Here come that collector man

Go open the door

Here come that collector man

Well, you can tell him I say, `Come back tomorrow

Because Sonny Boy, ain`t got a doggone thing`.



Tell him that I ain`t got no money

Now, he know how times is now day

Tell him that I ain`t got no money

And he know how times is now day

Well, this elevator man ain`t got no money

Can`t hardly find any place to stay



Tell him but someday, I`ll have some money

Now, I want ev`rybody to watch and see

Tell him someday I`ll have some money

I want ev`rybody to watch and see

Well now, tell him that it`s hard to keep down

You know, a real good man like me



Tell him, I know I`m down, now

Now, but I won`t be down, alway

Tell him that I`m down, now

But I won`t be down, alway

Well now, you can tell `em watch an see

Don`t Sonny Boy, get some money

Ooh Lord, knows some of these days.
