Hank Williams Jr. - Stock Market Blues lyrics

rate me

Hey Charlie Snob could you make me some investments

I wanna get the hell out of here

I've ordered my Mercedes I wanna meet some classy ladies

And start drinking champagne instead of beer

Now I don't have much money but we could work out somethin'

I could send you twenty bucks a week

He said that's not how it works and just what is your net worth

I said my net worth is what I got on me

So I called up my mother-in-law told her about the ad I saw

Guaranteeing a fortune to be made

I said I need a hundred thou cause we have got to jump in now

We'll make a bunch and split it up two ways

So I met her down at the bank grabbed a check and then I ran

As fast as I could to their store

Now here's all the money so pick some winners sonny

And call me up when we make the big score

Well I saw it on the evening news stock market really had the blues

And when it closed it set an all time low

I wondered where did I go wrong why did this happen to me Lord

I've got to get that money back ya know

Well I just sat there and wondered why I was gonna buy low and sell it high

But things sure didn't work out that way

I don't know what I'm gonna do and to tell y'all the truth

I think I've lost my assets today

Hey broker man please don't make no more investments

Cause I would like to keep my shirt and pants

Cancel that Mercedes I'm going back to the old lady

In Little Rock instead of Paris, France

No I'll never play that game againI think y'all saw me comin' friend

And I jumped right in like a big fool

Oh I thought I'd make some money but it's really kind of funny

Cause I borrowed all of it from you know who

Oh I thought I'd make some money but it's really kind of funny

Cause I borrowed all of it from you know who
