Windy old head I sang along with the words that she said Happy and bad "Where goes the time?" She asked me once Oh and if you don't mind Give back my heart when you go
Begging bowl blues Wrapped round my head Like a fistful of news nobody reads
Me and her name I can't recall I was never the same after she left me
And oh I missed her so Never thought much of her reason to go And well, she cast a spell Under I fell in a useless hello
Useless old day Wishing the hours would take me away Just for a while Nobody's crook, stealing an answer Oh why does he look drunk as the day he was born?
Ragged and torn, lives for the money these days, What a joke And once, twice is a sin Couldn't get in with the elegant folk
I cannot wait any longer And I cannot claim to be free Whenever it seems like I'm losing The begging bowl blues follow me
And she cannot say that she's happy And I cant be sure if I care I got wrapped up in the money And the begging bowl blues kept me there
