I've got a lot of blues on my mind
And at least a million miles behind me
And all that I've got between me and Paupers Hill
Is a wrinkled crinkled wadded dollar bill

Lake Michigan wind sure is cold
And I need me a jacket for my shoulders
I can buy one down at the surples store, cheap cotton twill
With my wrinkled crinkled wadded dollar bill

For I'm not bound and I never will
Be to a wrinkled crinkled wadded dollar bill

It sure smells good at the bakery
And I stand and let the smells flood over me
They sell them day-old cakes mighty cheaply, I could eat my fill
With my wrinkled crinkled wadded dollar bill

Transients are welcome says the sign
One half gets the room, the other the wine
But tomorrow would start right on time, darned if I will
With my wrinkled crinkled wadded dollar bill

For I'm not bound and I never will
Be to a wrinkled crinkled wadded dollar bill

Lake Michigan waves hit the beach
And I stand and let them wash at my feet
And then I throw it just as far as I can into the chill
My wrinkled crinkled wadded dollar bill

For I'm not bound and I never will
Be to a wrinkled crinkled wadded dollar bill

For I'm not bound and I never will
Be to a wrinkled crinkled wadded dollar bill

For I'm not bound and I never will......FADE
