'Coz around them I smile
In my pocket, Lord have mercy
With a nickel and a nail, thats all I have
How do you expect for me to make it? I dont believe I will
And I jingle, yes I do
They still down in their hearts
Oh I can't sleep
But the need for your sweet love, oh, baby
You think the thrill is gone, I couldnt believe it
Lord knows I failed, yes I did
Is a nickel and a nail
Oh, baby, oh, you left me with the people and me
Now all I have
Is a nickel and a nail, thats all it is
Might save my pride, you see
I will have enough money to call my baby
All you hear me jingling
Is hammering inside of me, oh
Oh, baby, Im wondering
But someway, somehow
That old lonesome, lonesome, lonesome trail, I got to leave you
Now a nickel and a nail
All I got baby, is a nickel and a nail
You said a long time ago
Oh, baby, baby, I can't go too far
All, all I have is a nickel and a nail
My friends, no, no, no, no
I wanna say it one more time
If I get lonely
I can't go too far
If I get in trouble, if I get in [Incomprehensible]
They just dont know, Lord have mercy
You said O.V. I think you better hit
I can spin a nickel, they will spin
They think Im doing swell, but they dont know
All I can give account of
Oh, I cant make it, can't make it far
