Trad. Arr- Youlden/Simmonds- Chrysalis Music Ltd . My goodtime friends have put me down I'm all alone in your town You know I don't have no place to go The woman I love she don't want me no more I'm just trying to explain I need a penny to call my baby You don't seem to understand I need a penny to call my baby You know she asked me to call her on the phone She got the nerve to tell me she all alone I'm just trying to explain I need a penny to call my baby I'm just trying to make you understand I need a penny to call my baby Now I don't have no peace of mind I'm just trying to seek what I can find I'm just trying to explain I need a penny to call my baby Now I want to tell you when I wake up in the morning And I find now baby I'm all by myself I feel so disatisfied When I go to work and I come home in the evening And there ain't nobody there I feel so disatisfied Oh give me a penny baby, give me a penny baby My wife, now my wife she left me Give me a penny Give me a penny
