Bank Failure Blues (Muldaur Maria)

I've been working all my life folks, saved every nickel I could get I've been working all my life folks, saved every nickel I could get Thought someday I’d have a nest egg, but my home will be the poorhouse yet Got my money every Saturday, Monday morning took it to the bank Got my money every Saturday, Monday morning took it to the bank Now that dog-gone bank gone busted, every nickel that I saved done sink Lord it's hard to lose your money when you've scraped and scrambled as I've Done Lord it's hard to lose your money when you've scraped and scrambled as I've Done Make a preacher leave his pulpit, trade his bible for a Gatlin gun Going down to the cashiers window, going down with blood in both my eyes Going down to the cashiers window, going down with blood in both my eyes And if I don’t get my money, gonna cut that man down to my size Let me tell you folks there’s two things, two things that I just can’t Stand Let me tell you folks there’s two things, two things that I just can’t Stand One is messing with my money, others messing ‘round with my good man
