Martina:

I've been working so hard
Just came home from my job
I look down in my wallet
Goddamit I been bought
Where can my money be now
Five of the week's long work
What can I do now
I got so many bills to pay
You got me singing the blues
And I'm paying all my dues
You got me singing the blues
And I'm paying all my dues, yeah

I got to tell you that
The blues reached out of my pocket
People, oh what a shame
The bills are gonna rob me tomorrow
That's why I need my ten dollars today
You got me singing the blues
And I'm paying all my dues
You got me singing the blues
And I'm paying all my dues

The blues reached out of my pocket
People, oh what a shame
The bills are gonna rob me tomorrow
That's why I need my ten dollars today
You got me singing the blues
And I'm paying all my dues
You got me singing the blues
And I'm paying all my dues

You got to singing,
Singing in the morning
Singing in the new day
You got to singing yeah
You got singing
The blues reached out of my pocket
People, oh what a shame
The bills are gonna rob me tomorrow
That's why I need my ten dollars today
You got me singing the blues
And I'm paying all my dues
You got me singing the blues
Baby I'm gonna singing,
Singing in the morning
