Lyrics

[Intro]
| D |

[Verse 1]
Well, I did all I can do,
and I can't get along with you
I'm gonna take to your mama, pay day

[Chorus]
Pay day
I'm gonna take to your mama, pay day

[Verse 2]
Just 'bout a week ago, I stole me
I'm gonna keep my skillet greasy if I can
If I can, if I can

[Verse 3]
Well, the rabbit in a log,
I ain't got no rabbit dog
Lord, I hate to see that rabbit get away

[Verse 4]
Well, my knapsack on my back,
and the hounds is on my track
I'm gonna make it to my shanty 'fore day

[Chorus]
Pay day, pay day

[Verse 5]
Honey, I did all I can do,
and I can't get along with you
I'm gonna take you to your mama, pay day
