Drop me off at Dollar Lake I do not have a penny My baby left He took all my money Drop me off at Dollar Lake Mister, if you're going by there He broke my heart Made a mess of my affairs A little long in the teeth He was short on cash I'd do anything now to get my baby back Gone off he gonna have his way Left me holding the bill to pay I gotta reach the shore of a better place Some place maybe I can still save face Dollar Lake Drop me off at Dollar Lake I bought him a car then he drove To see the long distance lover He was calling on the telephone Why did he make me so happy He showed me such a beautiful time I looked the other way As he robbed me blind A little long in the teeth He was short on cash I'd do anything to get my baby back Gone off he gonna have his way Left me holding the bill to pay I gotta reach the shore of a better place Some place maybe I can still save face Dollar Lake Long in the teeth Short on cash I'd do anything now To get my sweet baby back But he's gone off, Mister, to have his way Left me holding the bill to pay Dollar Lake My baby left, took all my money My baby left, took all my money
