A Nickel And A Nail Lyrics - O.v. Wright

Oh, I once had love 

And a plenty of money, oh, yes I did 

But someway, somehow 

Lord knows I failed, yes I did 

Now all I have 

In my pocket, Lord have mercy 

All I can give account of 

Is a nickel and a nail 

I wanna say it one more time 

All, all I have is a nickel and a nail 

My friends, no, no, no, no 

They just don't know, Lord have mercy 

They still down in their hearts 

They think I'm doing swell, but they don't know 

'Coz around them I smile 

And I jingle, yes I do 

All you hear me jingling 

Is a nickel and a nail, that's all it is 

Now a nickel and a nail 

Might save my pride, you see 

But the need for your sweet love, oh, baby 

Is hammering inside of me, oh 

You said a long time ago 

You think the thrill is gone, I couldn't believe it 

You said O.V. I think you better hit 

That old lonesome, lonesome, lonesome trail, I got to leave you 

Oh, baby, I'm wondering 

How do you expect for me to make it? I don't believe I will 

Oh, I can't make it, can't make it far 

With a nickel and a nail, that's all I have 

Oh I can't sleep 

All I got baby, is a nickel and a nail 

If I get lonely 

I can spin a nickel, they will spin 

If I get in trouble, if I get in [Incomprehensible] 

I will have enough money to call my baby 

Oh, baby, oh, you left me with the people and me 

I can't go too far 

Oh, baby, baby, I can't go too far 

A nickel and a nail
