Too Broke To Spend The Night
by 
Buddy Guy 
recording 1991 
from 
Damn Right, I've Got the Blues (Silvertone 1462-2-J) 
I'm catching hell out here, people and you know, I know it ain't right 
I say, I'm catching hell out here, and people you know, I know it ain't right 
'Cause I'm so broke, I'm so broke right now, that I can't even spend the night 
My only son, I don't think he really know who I am 
I said, my only son. I don't think, I don't think he really know who I am 
Frankly speaking people, I don't think, I don't think he really gives a damn 
Look-a here 
I pawned my watch, and you know I pawned my doggone ring 
I said, yes, I pawned my watch, baby you know I pawned, I pawned my doggone ring 
You know I'm trying to ride this old rack-e-ty bike, and I don't even have a doggone chain 
Look-a here 
I'm catching hell, I'm catching hell, yeah, and people and you know that ain't right 
I say, I'm catching hell, yeah, and people you know, you know, that ain't right 
I'm so broke right now, that I can't even spend the night 
Look-a here
