Loanshark Blues

Give me 'til Monday, that's only a day or two
Give me 'til Monday, that's only a day or two
I'll pay you back with interest, if it's the last thing that I do, yeah
I'll pay you back with interest, if it's the last thing that I do, yeah

Give me 'til Monday, that's only a day away
Give me 'til Monday, that's only a day away
I'm down on my knees, Ive got one foot in the grave
I'm down on my knees, I ve got one foot in the grave

I've got the loanshark blues
I've got the loanshark blues
Give me an offer I can't refuse

My wife needs shoes, my kids must eat
Feel so cold, I can't feel my feet
Can't get my hands on one thin dime
Gonna turn to a life of crime

No work here, so I walk the street
Sign on the door, feel I'm beat
I known you run Pier 15
You got a grip on all my dreams

I got the loanshark blues, the loanshark blues
Give me an offer I can't refuse

Give me 'til Monday, that s only a day or two
Give me 'til Monday, that's only a day or two
I'll pay you back with interest, if it's the last thing that I do
I'll pay you back with interest, if it s the last thing that I do

I got the loanshark blues, the loanshark blues
Give me an offer I can't refuse

The roofs got holes, see the sky
Can't get straight and I have tried
I'm in your debt, I'm well aware
I'll break the law 'cause I don't care

Living on a knife edge I have been
But I'm to though to just give in
Moving on down with the longshore men
On the docks we're locked out again

I got the loanshark blues, the loanshark blues
Give me an offer I can't refuse

I got the loanshark blues, the loanshark blues
Give me an offer I can't refuse
