[Verse 1]
Samuel Brown from way down
In Tennessee
Had a wife made his life
Full of misery

[Verse 2]
Now, his gal sure could sing
At night she'd moan the blues
And Sam said, "I sure like to hear
Except this here bad news"

[Chorus]
Daddy, I need money
Gives it to you, honey
Daddy, I need money now

[Bridge]
All day long I hear that song
Papa, it's your fault if I go wrong
Fast as I can lend it
How you like to spend it
It disappears somehow

[Verse 3]
I've got beer money
You got champagne
If you don't stop spendin'
I will have to wait
[Chorus]
Daddy, I need money
Gives it to you, honey
Daddy, I need money now
Daddy, I need money now
Daddy, I need money
Gives it to you, honey
Daddy, I need money now

[Bridge]
All day long I hear that song
Papa, it's your fault if I go wrong
Fast as I can lend it
How you like to spend it
It disappears somehow

[Verse 3]
I've got beer money
You like champagne
If you don't stop spendin'
I will have to wait

[Outro]
Daddy, I need money
Gives it to you, honey
I need a small piece of money now
I can use a small piece of change now
