(McKinley Morganfield a.k.a. Muddy Waters)
Oh yeah, the woman she's livin' on a poor man's pay,
I bought my babe a mink coat,
With fur just to match her hair
When I asked her out for dinner,
She said, "Oh this is just common wear"
I work hard on two jobs,
And I make overtime every day
Oh, you know I got a, I got a rich man's woman,
But she's livin' on a poor man's pay
I bought my babe a Cadillac,
She said, "That's just a common gift"
When she passes me walkin' on the streets,
She refuse to give me a lift
I told you I work hard on two jobs,
And I make overtime every day
Oh, you know I got a, I got a rich man's woman,
But she's living on a poor man's pay
There ain't no use for you to argue,
Just go ahead and let the girl have her way
Even if she's a rich man's woman,
And I know she's livin' on a poor man's pay
I told you I work hard on two jobs,
And I make overtime every day
Oh, you know I know I got myself a rich mans woman,
But the woman she's livin' on a poor man's pay
