Jimmy Dawkins Made The Hard Way
Fame and fortune,
alway evaded me.
My fame and fortune
always evaded me.
I had to hack both day and night.
I guess it had to be that way.
But I don't complain,
people, I just bear the pain.
I don't complain,
I just bear the pain.
'Cause what I have was made the hard way.
Things ain't gonna get better.
You know baby,
it's gonna be alright.
We can't have what we want,
but it's gonna be alright.
We ain't got to beg, rob or steal,
oh, we don't have to fuss and fight.
Have nothing,
don't have much in this world.
I ain't got much,
I ain't go much in this world.
Yeah, but I know that I've got
just on your mind little girl.
I'm gonna stop this mess.
I cry: my fame and fortune,
seems like it ain't come in.
Fame and fortune,
always evaded me.
I had to hack day by day,
oh, that's just my way.
But I don't complain,
I just take the pain.
But I don't complain,
I just take it and bear the pain.
