I have spent all my bonus 

Ain't got a single dime 

I have spent all my bonus 

I ain't even got a dime 

An I can't get no hearin' 

From that girl of mine 

Boys, please don't be hasty 

Try to treat people the best you can 

Boys, please don't be hasty 

Try to treat people the best you can 

You can't tell when you be sick an down 

Won't even have a friend 

Now have spent all my bonus 

You know my baby gone 

I have spent all my bonus 

You know my baby gone 

You know ain't but one thing that worries me 

I ain't even got a home 

I have spent all my bonus 

Ain't no mo' for me to do 

I have spent all my bonus 

Ain't no mo' for me to do 

You know I had a sweet little woman 

But you know that she would treat me cruel.
