Sonny Boy - spoken: 

Who is that knockin' on that do'? 

I believe that, that's collector man 

Man, go tell him I ain't got a dime, t'day 

Tell him I ain't made a penny all this week 

Tell him I'm just as broke as I can be 

Or just knock 'em down 

Tell him but I have some money, sometime.

Sonny Boy - sings: 

Now go open the door 

Here come that collector man 

Go open the door 

Here come that collector man 

Well, you can tell him I say, 'Come back tomorrow 

Because Sonny Boy, ain't got a doggone thing'. 

Tell him that I ain't got no money 

Now, he know how times is now day 

Tell him that I ain't got no money 

And he know how times is now day 

Well, this elevator man ain't got no money 

Can't hardly find any place to stay 

Tell him but someday, I'll have some money 

Now, I want ev'rybody to watch and see 

Tell him someday I'll have some money 

I want ev'rybody to watch and see 

Well now, tell him that it's hard to keep down 

You know, a real good man like me 

Photos 

Tell him, I know I'm down, now 

Now, but I won't be down, alway 

Tell him that I'm down, now 

But I won't be down, alway 

Well now, you can tell 'em watch an see 

Don't Sonny Boy, get some money 

Ooh Lord, knows some of these days.
