Woody Guthrie - I TAKE MY PENNY lyrics

Oh, I take my penny,

And I go to the store,

And when I got back,

I was tired and sore.

Well, why am I tired?

And why am I sore?

Cause I didn’t get a thing,

That I went there for.

I take my penny to the barber,

And I get my hair cut,

When I get back home,

It’s all tangled up,

Well, if you wanta know

Just how I feel,

I feel like a pulling

On a pussy cat’s tail.

My Mommy and my Daddy,

Wrote down my song,

So, if it sounds awful funny,

If it sounds all wrong,

I sung it nice and pretty

When I made it up

But they wrote it down crooked

And it’s all scrabbled up.
