Lyrics

Standin' there, by the old town clock With my coat in my hand I thought I'd go for a walk Like my Momma said: "You'll never be poor" But can you really be sure You've got to help, doctor doctor, got to take the cure Strollin' round, I was hit by surprise By a bit of a dream That looked me straight in the eyes My Momma said: "You'll never be poor" But can you really be sure? You've got to help, doctor doctor, got to take the cure Everyday, I think I see her again With the passing of time My chances just never came Like my Momma said: "You'll never be poor" But can you really be sure? You've got to help, doctor doctor, got to take the cure Fourteen years, since I saw her that night Things are not quite the same My head just ain't feelin' right My Momma said: "You'll never be poor" But can you really be sure? You've gotta to help, doctor doctor, got to take the cure Oh you're right that I tried To tell myself that I'll be all right Feelin' poor, that's for sure I need a bowl of my Momma's cure Oh you're right that I tried To tell myself that I'll be all right Feelin' poor, that's for sure I need a bowl of my Momma's cure
