Mud on my shoes, shoes on my feet
I been walking up and down the street
Buddy I've seen a thing or two
How's about you?

How's about you?
Ain't you been walking too?
It seems a lot of good people
Been getting bad news
How's about you?
Ain't you got nothing to say?
Oh, I used to have a dollar
Gonna have a dime someday

I ain't got a nickel, I'm a broken down flat
Wish I had one of them pork pie hats
Cause this old rain's about to soak through
How's about you?

How's about you?
Ain't you been walking too?
It seems a lot of good people
Are getting bad news
How's about you?
Ain't you got nothing to say?
Oh, I used to have a dollar
I'm gonna have a dime someday

The criminal man, he ain't behind bars
He's driving one of his Cadillac cars
I'm gonna switch sides real soon
How's about you?

How's about you?
Ain't you been hard up too?
Seems a lot of good people
Are getting bad news
How's about you?
Ain't you got nothing to say?
Oh, I used to have a dollar
I'm gonna have a dime someday

The man in the church, the men on the hill
They swear it won't hurt me but I know it will
And I been worried the whole night through
How's about you?

How's about you?
Ain't you got nothing to say?
You know I used to have a dollar
I'm gonna have a dime someday
Oh, I used to have a dollar
I'm gonna have a dime someday
