I got a hole in my pocket and I can't go to the fair
I got a hole in my pocket and I can't go to the fair
I'm blue cause I can't meet my baby there

Well I don't show up what will my baby do
Well I don't show up what will my baby do
She'll trifle and cuddle and love with someone new

Well ooh ooh ooh what will I do
My money's all gone and my baby is through
I got a hole in my pocket and I don't know what to do
[ guitar ]
I got a hole in my pocket and my money just runs on through
I got a hole in my pocket and my money just runs on through
Can't see a silver dollar but my baby darlin' wants them to

I told my baby have a little fun tonight
I told my baby have a little fun tonight
But it won't be so funny when there'll be no money in sight

Well ooh ooh ooh what will I do...
[ steel ]
Well ooh ooh ooh what will I do...
Yeah I got a hole in my pocket and I don't know what to do
