Wish i had the money to spend on you honey dress you up so fancy with pretty things to wear like high heels and perfume a ring for you finger a dress without patches and ribbons for you hair we go to church every sunday morning, clothes full of patches and rags on our feet, there take our collection i can't give a nickel it takes every dime that i make for us to eat oh i wish i had the money to spend on you honey dress you up so fancy with pretty things to wear like high heels and perfume a ring for your finger a dress without patches and ribbons for your hair
