| Oh I once had love | |
| And plenty of money | |
| But some way, some how | |
| Lord knows I failed | |
| Oh yes I did | |
| Now all I have | |
| In my pocket | |
| All I can give account of | |
| Is a nickel and a nail | |
| Oh yeah lemme say it again | |
| All I can give account of | |
| Is a nickel and a nail | |
| My friends no no no | |
| They just don’t know | |
| They sit down in my house | |
| And they think I’m doing swell | |
| But they don’t know | |
| Every time I smile, every time I smile | |
| I jingle | |
| All that they can hear is a nickel and a nail | |
| Oh that’s all it is | |
| Now a nickel and a nail | |
| Just might save my privacy | |
| But the need for your sweet lovin | |
| Oh baby it’s got its hooks deep inside of me | |
| You said a long time ago | |
| That you’re thinking the thrill is gone | |
| You said oh baby baby | |
| I think you better hit that lonesome lonesome lonesome trail | |
| But oh baby I’m wondering | |
| How do you expect me to make it | |
| I can’t make it far with a nickel and a nail | |
| You know I can’t make it far with a nickel and a nail |
| Oh I once had love | |
| And plenty of money | |
| But some way, some how | |
| Lord knows I failed | |
| Oh yes I did | |
| Now all I have | |
| In my pocket | |
| All I can give account of | |
| Is a nickel and a nail | |
| Oh yeah lemme say it again | |
| All I can give account of | |
| Is a nickel and a nail | |
| My friends no no no | |
| They just don' t know | |
| They sit down in my house | |
| And they think I' m doing swell | |
| But they don' t know | |
| Every time I smile, every time I smile | |
| I jingle | |
| All that they can hear is a nickel and a nail | |
| Oh that' s all it is | |
| Now a nickel and a nail | |
| Just might save my privacy | |
| But the need for your sweet lovin | |
| Oh baby it' s got its hooks deep inside of me | |
| You said a long time ago | |
| That you' re thinking the thrill is gone | |
| You said oh baby baby | |
| I think you better hit that lonesome lonesome lonesome trail | |
| But oh baby I' m wondering | |
| How do you expect me to make it | |
| I can' t make it far with a nickel and a nail | |
| You know I can' t make it far with a nickel and a nail |
| Oh I once had love | |
| And plenty of money | |
| But some way, some how | |
