Alimony

Lyrics: Jones, Young, Higginbotham
Music: Jones, Young, Higginbotham

A Ry Cooder song played by 7 Walkers.

Look at this one, look at that one
Tell me do they look like me
All my friends said, now don't you worry
They said they'll testify for me

Well, your honour, now won't you tell me
Who had it in for me
Alimony, oh alimony
Oh alimony is killing me
Alimony, alimony
Alimony is killing me

Oh judge, your honour, well please, have mercy
I'm as poor as I can be
I ain't had money in my pockets
Since way back in 1983

Oh judge, your honour, well please, have mercy
I'm as poor as I can be
I ain't had money in my pockets
Since way back in 1993

Alimony, oh alimony
Oh alimony is killing me
Alimony, alimony
Alimony is killing me

Oh judge, your honour, well please, have mercy
Alimony is killing me
Alimony, alimony
Alimony is killing me
The original has an additional verse
I don't want six extra children
When ain't but two that look like me
Please, have mercy, judge your honor
Alimony is killing me
