roy buchanan - a nickel and a nail lyrics
i once had love and plenty of money
yes i did.
someway, somehow i know i failed
yes i did
now all, all i have in my pocket,
all i can give account of
is a nickel and a nail
all, all i have is a nickel and a nail
my friends, oh no-no-no
they just don’t know.
the feel, deep down in their hearts
they think i’m doing swell
but they don’t know
’cause
every now and then i smile
and i jingle
yes i do
all you hear me jingeling
is a nickel and a nail
a nickel and a nail,
my chain, my price to see
but i still,
feel the need to be loved, baby
hammering inside of me
a nickel and a nail,
my chain, my price to see
but i still,
feel the need to be loved, baby
hammering inside of me
you said a long time ago,
you said the dream was gonna be believed
you said “you’ll see”
i think you better get that on,
on some lonesome, lonesome trail.
you gotta leave here.
oh baby i’m wondering
how d’you expect for me to make it,
i don’t believe i will.
oh baby i can’t make it,
on a nickel and a nail
if i get sleepy
all i’ve got baby
is a nickel and a nail
if i get lonely
i can bend the nickel
the nail won’t spin.
if i get in trouble
if i get in jail
i would have enough money
to pay my bail
baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
they gone too far.
said “they gone too far”.
can’t do it.
they gone too far.
