Lyrics
I got holes in my pockets
And in the soles of my shoes
I got holes in my pockets
And in the soles of my shoes
Got to find me some money
So I can pay my union dues
So I went to see my father
And asked if he could spare some change
Yeah I went to see my father
And asked if he could spare some change
He said: “Son I’m so broke now”
“All I can give you is my name”
So I went to see the banker
And asked if I could get a loan
Yeah I went to see the banker
And asked if I could get a loan
He said: “Boy don’t you bother”
“No go on home where you belong”
I got holes in my pockets
And in the soles of my shoes
I got holes in my pockets
And in the soles of my shoes
Got to find me some money
So I can pay my union dues
So I went to see the preacher
Cause I was down and I was poor
Yeah I went to see the preacher
Cause I was down and I was poor
He said: “Son I can’t help you”
“Saving souls is what I’m for”
So I went and found a doctor
In hope that he could ease my pain
Yeah I went and found a doctor
In hope that he could ease my pain
He said: “Listen, I’m too busy”
“And don’t you call on me again”
I got holes in my pockets
And in the soles of my shoes
I got holes in my pockets
And in the soles of my shoes
I Got to find me some money
So I can pay my union dues
