Pawn Shop Blues Lyrics

Well, I didn't know it would come to this
But that's what happens when you're on your own
And you're all right, but letting nice things go

Well, I pawned the earrings that you gave me
Gold and made of flowers dangling
And I almost cried as I sold them all
And I don't mind living on bread and oranges, no no
But I got to get to and from where I come
And it's going to take money to go
Oh, no

In the name of higher consciousness
I let the best man I knew go
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net ]
'Cause it's nice to love and be loved
But it's better to know all you can know
I said it's nice to love and be loved
But I'd rather know what God knows
Oh, no
Oh, no
Oh, no
Oh, no

I can't do this once more
No man can keep me together
Been broken since I was born

Well, I didn't know it would come to this
But that's what happens when you're on your own
And you're all right, but letting nice things go
