Lyrics:

[English]

So low-down..don't even have a Nickel to my name

So low-down

I don't even have a Nickel to my name

I got a high class woman

and you know she's to blame

her sweet sweet lovin'

've cost me

she makes me ache head to toe

till she knows my soul

If I don't find a dollar

She's gone, gone, gone

And now I hear them say...

She's gone, gone, gone

Now I hear them say

If you want to keep a high class woman

you have a heavy price to pay
