lyrics

I had forty pounds of gold and the sun was in my eyes.
Said I had 40 pounds of gold, and the sun was in my eyes.
A cloud came over I could see
The gold was gone I ain't tell you no lies.

You ask me what for the Metaphor, I tell you it's all I got.
You ask me what for the Metaphor? I tell you it's all I got.
Mister you can keep the gold
but gimme my baby back for me to hold.

My shoes are tied but they’re in the shop and I’m walkin’ on my bare feet.
Well my shoes are tied they’re in the shop And I’m walking on my bare feet
I got myself a blister, sister
I tell you that it ain’t sweet.

You ask me what for the Metaphor, I tell you it's all I got.
You ask me what for the Metaphor? I tell you it's all I got.
Mister you can keep the shoes
but gimme my baby back I got the blues.

You ask me what for the Metaphor, I tell you it's all I got.
You ask me what for the Metaphor? I tell you it's all I got.
Mister you can keep the shoes
but gimme my baby back I got the blues
Mister you can keep the shoes
but gimme my baby back I got the blues.
