Last Two Dollars - Johnnie Taylor

A lady at the casino

She lost all of her money

She said don’t feel sorry for me.

no

Don’t feel sorry honey

But if you want to do a lady a favor

Here’s what I want you to do

Just loan me 2 dollars

Until the next time I see you.

But these last 2 dollars

I’m not gonna lose

These last 2 dollars

I’m not gonna lose

One’s going for my bus fare

Other one for the jukebox

To hear me some blues

She said I wouldn’t be over here

If my man had been treating me right

I came here to try to catch him, yeah

'Cause he’s been sneaking around every night

But I got caught up over here

Got caught up in this scene

And put all of my money

In that doggone gambling machine

But these last 2 dollars

I’m not gonna lose

These last 2 dollars

I’m not gonna lose

One’s going for my bus fare

Other one for the jukebox

To hear me some blues

Lady at the casino

Lost all of her money yeah

She said don’t feel sorry

Don’t feel sorry honey

If you want to do a lady a favor

Here’s what I want you to do

Just loan me 2 dollars

Until the next time I see you.

But these last 2 dollars

I’m not gonna lose

These last 2 dollars

I’m not gonna lose

One’s for my bus fare

These last 2 dollars

These last two dollars

These last two dollars

One goes for the bus fare

Other one for the jukebox

I gotta hear me some down home blues
