PAYDAY BLUES
Dan Hicks


I got my paycheck today
I think I'll spend it like a crazy
fool
Or I'll give it all away
Something like the golden rule
And my paycheck ain't hay
But somehow I just don't seem to care
Ever since she went away
And left my little house so cold and
bare
And I won't tell 'em at the bank
What I'm gonna do with all my dough
I'll just smile and tell `em thanks
For it's better than they shouldn't
know

Then I'll go and have a drink
At a little place where I can sit and
think
Cause my baby went away
And left me here on my payday

**Paaaaaaaaday was never like this
Paaaaaaaaday, but where is my
happiness?
I don't know!
