Ought to Be Satisfied Now

You jacked me up and you run me down 
You nagged at me and you bawled me out 
You made me leave town and I'm Frisco bound 
You'd ought to be satisfied now.

You took my silver you took my gold
You made me believe in every lie that you told 
You left me a standing out there in the cold 
You'd ought to be satisfied now.

You went around with whoever you pleased 
I stood in the rain in my B.V.D.'s 
There was times when I thought I’d freeze 
You'd ought to be satisfied now.

You got a new lover richer than me 
You got you a car and a boat on the sea 
You spend all my money to go out on a spree 
You'd ought to be satisfied now.

I'm down in this gutter I'm hungry, I'm cold, 
You're drinking and gambling and wasting our dough 
You won’t even pay back that money you owe
You'd ought to be satisfied now.

Once I had a fortune that you took away, 
A hundred cold dollars you spent every day
Tonight I'm a bum on a Frisco train
You'd ought to be satisfied now.
