Darling you know exactly what happened, last year just about this time

Yes you know exactly what happened, last year just about this time

You asked me for one hundred dollars, and I didn't have but ninety nine



Yes I'm in love with the little girl, just because she's so nice and kind

I'm in love, I'm in love with the little girl, just because she's so nice and kind

I was so sorry when she asked me for one hundred dollars,

I couldn't give her but ninety nine



Yes my baby taken sick on July twenty-nine

Yes the one I love she taken sick on July twenty-nine

Her doctor billed her four hundred dollars,

And I didn't have but three hundred and ninety nine
