Loading...

[verse 1]
yes, i’m alone in this here town
my good time buddies have put me down
i need a penny to call my man
you know i need a penny, don’t you understand?

[refrain]
my baby told me when i left home
that he watches me at the telephone

[verse 2]
i need a penny so very bad
just a penny, child, that would make me glad
my baby told me when i left home, haha
that, ha, he would kneel at the telephone, i’m talkin’ ’bout a penny, don’t you understand?

[refrain]
i need a penny to call my man
hey+hey, and a penny would make me glad, just one penny

[bridge]
gimme one penny, somebody

[verse 3]
perhaps i should get myself a walking cane
child, and big mama can pretend that she was lame
and maybe somebody would give me a penny
hey, hey, a penny to call my man
[refrain]
i got a+nine cent to my name, ha
i need a penny, ain’t that a shame? hey+hey, oh, you know it

[verse 4]
i got nine cent to my name, baby
i need one penny, ain’t that a shame?
i see one penny in my hand, hahaha, i’m a blind man
and take one penny to get me to my man

[outro]
take one penny and then you’ll get my man
hey, hey, one penny to get another drink of wine
woah, yeah
