How’s About You
[Verse 1]
Mud on my shoes, shoes on my feet
I've been walking up and down the street
Buddy, I've seen a thing or two
How's about you?
[Chorus]
How's about you?
Ain't you been walking too?
It seems a lot of good people
Been getting bad news
How's about you?
Ain't you got nothing to say?
Oh, I used to have a dollar
Gonna have a dime someday
[Verse 2]
I ain't got a nickel, I'm a broken-down flat
Wish I had one of them pork-pie hats
'Cause this old rain's about to soak through
How's about you?
[Chorus]
How's about you?
Ain't you been walking too?
It seems a lot of good people
Are getting bad news
How's about you?
Ain't you got nothing to say?
Oh, I used to have a dollar
I'm gonna have a dime someday
[Verse 3]
The criminal man, he ain't behind bars
He's driving one of his Cadillac cars
I'm gonna switch sides real soon
How's about you?
[Chorus]
How's about you?
Ain't you been hard up too?
Seems a lot of good people
Are getting bad news
How's about you?
Ain't you got nothing to say?
Oh, I used to have a dollar
I'm gonna have a dime someday
[Verse 4]
The man in the church, the men on the hill
They swear it won't hurt me, but I know it will
And I've been worried the whole night through
How's about you?
[Chorus]
How's about you?
Ain't you got nothing to say?
You know I used to have a dollar
I'm gonna have a dime someday
Oh, I used to have a dollar
I'm gonna have a dime someday
