Well I woke up this morning

With the cold water

With the cold water

With the cold water

Woke up this morning

With the cold water

With the cold water

Ain't got no money

Ain't got no money

Well I ain't

With the cold water

With the cold water

Woke up this morning

With the cold water

With the cold water

With the cold
