[1] I'm goin' back to the country [4] I can't pay the [1] rent
[4] Though I'm not [1] completely broke brother I'm badly bent
I can't under-[4]-stand where my money [1] went
Well I ain't [5] broke but I'm badly [1] bent

Well, I had a lot of money, but to the city I went
I met too many good looking girls and that's where my money went
Yeah I know just where it went
Well I ain't broke but I'm badly bent

When I get back to the country I'll be livin' in a tent
Ma and Pa will sure be mad about all the money I spent
I can't understand just where it went
Well I ain't broke but I'm badly bent

Yeah I know just where it went
Well I ain't broke, but brother I'm badly bent
