"Why Don't You Do Right?" lyrics

"Why Don't You Do Right?"

You had plenty money
Nineteen forty one
You lost it all
And then, where do you run?
Why don't you do right
Like some other men do?
Get out of here and
Get me some money too

You're sitting down wondering
What it's all about
You ain't got no money
They will put you out
Why don't you do right
Like some other men do?
Just get out of here and
Get me some money too

If you had prepared
Twenty years ago
You wouldn't be wandering
Now from door to door
Why don't you do right
Like some other men do?
Get out of here and
Get me some money too

Why don't you do right
Like some other men do?
Like some other men do?
Like some other men do?
