Too Much - Jimmy Reed

I paid the bank note, the car note, an' yes, I paid the 'phone bill too

An' then I turned around an' I found that the house note’s due

Well, I’d love to take you out like I said I would, honey

But there’s too much month at the end of the money

Well, I got a little favour I wanna ask of you, my love

Why don’t you find that hole in my pocket an' sew it up?

Yeah, I thought I’d saved some but, you know, it’s funny:

There’s too much month at the end of the money

All gone, oh, heaven only knows

All gone, oh, where on earth it goes

But it sure goes

Well, sometimes I think it blows away

I went down to the bank this mornin', 'bout half past nine

Well, I was lookin' for a little somethin' in the credit line

But the man said: «Look, what we got here, sonny:

«There's too much month at the end of the money.»

I’d love to take you out like I said I would, honey

But there’s too much month at the end of the money

Too much month at the end of the money
