 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
 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.
