"Interest On The Loan" lyrics
"Interest On The Loan"
Now it's come to talking I don't have much to say
It wouldn't come out right, and so I'll leave it out, oh, it's best that way
And I want to get out now 'cause I need just a couple of drinks
Can you lend me a little money till I draw my pay?
And I'm leaving like a thief in the night
But I will try to write to you, or maybe phone
And I'll send you back the money
But not the love you lent
I could never pay no interest on that loan
You really give me comfort I couldn't take more tenderness
My credit's overdrawn and I just slide deeper in your debt
And I want to get out now 'cause I need just a couple of drinks
Can you lend me a little money till pay day next?
And I'm leaving like a thief in the night
But I will try to write to you, or maybe phone
And I'll send you back the money
But not the love you lent
I could never pay no interest on that loan
Why don't you get some rest now you ought to get an early night
I've got a key so you can lock the door and it'll be all right
I'll just take my winter coat, it looks like it might rain
Can you lend me a little money just for the night?
And I'm leaving like a thief in the night
But I will try to write to you, or maybe phone
And I'll send you back the money
But not the love you lent
I could never pay no interest on that loan

Away you rollin' river
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, I must away
Across the wide Missouri
Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Away, you rollin' river

Phil Ochs - "When I'm Gone" There's no place in this world where I'll belong when I'm gone
And I won't know the right from the wrong when I'm gone
And you won't find me singin' on this song when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to...
