"Neighbors" lyrics - HOWLIN' WOLF

HOWLIN' WOLF
"Neighbors"
(Chester Burnett a.k.a. Howlin' Wolf)

When I had a lots of money
I had friends to give a good time
I went out with my friends
We drunk beer and whiskey all night
The next time I take 'em out
They didn't have a dime to spend

I told my neighbors, I ain't gonna spend no money no more
I love my neighbors, I can't spend no dime no more
I works too hard for my money, to throw my money away
My mama keep my money, I ain't gonna spend no money these days
I love my neighbors, I love my neighbors
But I have no dime to spend

Well every Monday morning, my neighbor knockin on my door
My neighbor done tell me, I want some ready dough
Well I told my neighbor, can't spend no money no more
Neighbor he got mad, and walked on away from my door
