Coming Down Off the Money Bag / Song of the Dog Songtext
von The Guess Who

Been playin′ in a band for ninety nine years
Been doing these tunes just to please your ears
Follow these changes, there are but three
They can change you know anyway you please
Now, take this tune I'm picking away
Away I pick is what I say
But every once in a while it becomes a drag
So, I come down off the money bag


I′m gonna leave this city
Leave my woman troubles far behind
Gonna leave this city
Leave my woman troubles far behind
One day she says she loves me
Next day treat me so unkind
I hopped down to the station
Get me leavin' ticket just one way
I hopped down to the station
Get me a leavin' ticket just one way, can′t stay
One time she says she loves me
Next day say lover boy go away

I′ve been playin' in a band for ninety nine years
Been doing these tunes just to please your ears
Follow the changes, there are but three
They can change you know anyway you please
Now, take this tune I′m picking away
Away I pick is what I say, yeah
But every once in a while it becomes a drag
So, I come down off the money bag
It's the truth boys
