Hank Williams Jr. - Stock Market Blues lyrics

rate me

Hey Charlie Snob, could you make me some investments?

I wanna get the hell outta here

I've ordered my Mercedes

I wanna meet some classy ladies

And start drinkin' champagne instead of beer

Now I don't have much money

But we could work out something

I could send you 20 bucks a week

He said that's not how it works

And just what is your net worth?

I said my net worth is what I got on me

So I called up my mother in law

Told ‘er about the add I saw

Guaranteeing a fortune to be made

I said I need a hundred thou

Cuz we have got to jump in now

We'll make a bunch and split it up 2 ways

So I met her down at the bank

Grabbed the check and then I ran

As fast as I could to the store

Now here's all the money

So pick some winner sunny

And call me up when we make the big score

Well I saw it on the evening news

That stock market really had the blues

And when it closed it set an all time low

I wondered where did I go wrong?

Why did this happen to me lord?

I've got to get that money back, you know?

Well I just sat there and wondered why

I was gonna buy low and sell it high

But things sure didn't work out that way

I don't know what I'm gonna do

And to tell y'all the truth

I think I've lost my assets today

Hey broker man, please don't make no more investments

Cuz I would like to keep my short and pants

Cancel that Mercedes, I'm goin' back to the old lady

In Little Rock instead of Paris, France

Oh, I'll never play that game again

I think y'all saw me comin' friend

And I jumped right in like a big fool

Oh I thought I'd make some money

But it's really kinda funny

Cuz I borrowed all of it from you know who

Oh, I thought I'd make some money

But it's really kinda funny

Cuz I borrowed all of it from you know who

Yes mother in law, I'm checkin' on it right now
