You walked in half past nine lookin' like a queen
Servin' me with papers callin' me obscene
Woman, I've tried so hard just to do my best
They're gonna put me in the poorhouse
And you'll take all the rest
Ooh, poorhouse
Up all day, down all night workin' on the job
Everything I do is wrong, I always end up robbed
Woman, I've tried so hard, done all I can do
They're gonna put me in the poorhouse
Keep all the best for you
Ooh, poorhouse
Ooh, poorhouse
If I were a soldier boy, would you love me more?
Would you bring me diamonds and hang around my door?
Woman, I've done my best, there ain't much left for me
They're gonna put me in the poorhouse
And throw away the key
Ooh, poorhouse
Ooh, poorhouse
Well, you walked in half past nine lookin' like a queen
Servin' me with papers callin' me obscene
Woman, I've tried so hard just to do my best
They're gonna put me in the poorhouse
And you'll take all the rest
Ooh, poorhouse
They're gonna put me in the poorhouse
And you'll take all the rest
