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.
