I ain’t got much money
And I ain’t got much time
But I sure got some trouble
With this life of mine
Behind with my payments
Got the heat on my tail
Police don’t believe me
Put me in jail
Could’ve used a little green stuff
Could’ve used a little help
Could’ve used a little green stuff
Could’ve used a little wealth
Could’ve used a little green stuff
Just to help myself
Could’ve used a little green stuff
Just to mind my health
Well, whisky and women
Sure done me some harm
A little juice and I’m wasted
Fall easy to charm
A ring on my finger, my name on the line
She knows I’m just stupid and I wonder why
Could’ve used a little green stuff
Could’ve used a little help
Could’ve used a little green stuff
Could’ve used a little wealth
Could’ve used a little green stuff
Just to help myself
Could’ve used a little green stuff
Just to mind my health
Now my money and my woman
long gone out the door
Got to get down to the track
I got to pick up some more
Place a few bets
Use the last of my cash
My horse is still running
They’re gonna turn me to trash
Could’ve used a little green stuff
Could’ve used a little help
Could’ve used a little green stuff
Could’ve used a little wealth
Could’ve used a little green stuff
Just to help myself
Could’ve used a little green stuff
Just to mind my health
