A Nickel And A Nail

Oh, I once had love And plenty of money, hmmm But some way, somehow You know I failed, yes I did Now all, all I have In my pocket, it's a shame All I can give account of Right now is a nickel and a nail That's all I have I said all, all I have Is a nickel and a nail My friends, oh oh Oh, they just don't know, no they don't They still deep down in their hearts They think I'm doing swell But they don't know Because (when I'm around them ?) I smile And every now and then I jingle, yes I do Oh, they hear me jinglin´ Oh, they hear me jinglin´ With a nickel and a nail That's all it is I said all, all I have Is a nickel and a nail Now a nickel and a nail Might save my pride, you see But the need for your sweet loving Oh Baby, can't you see it's killin´ me Oh, you said a long time ago You told me that the thrill was gone I didn't believe you You said Milton You better hit that ole lonesome, lonesome trail I had to leave you Oh Baby, now that I think about it I realize you didn't care if I made it I don't believe I will Oh girl, I can't go too far For a nickel and a nail, no I can't I said I can't, I can't make it far --- A Nickel and a Nail - Roy Buchanan
