Tricks Ain’t Walking No More Lucille Bogan

Times done got hard, money's done got scarce
Stealin' an' robbin' is goin' to take place
'Cos tricks ain't walkin', tricks ain't walkin' no more
I said tricks ain't walkin', tricks ain't walkin' no more
An' I'm goin' to rob somebody if I don't make me some dough

I'm goin' to learn these walkin' tricks what it's all about
I'm goin' to get them in my house and ain't gonna let them out
'Cos tricks ain't walkin', tricks ain't walkin' no more
I said tricks ain't walkin', tricks ain't walkin' no more
An' I can't make no money, don't care where I go

I got up this mornin', with the risin' sun
Bin walkin' all day an' I ain't caught a one
'Cos tricks ain't walkin', tricks ain't walkin' no more
I said tricks ain't walkin', tricks ain 't walkin' no more
An' I can't make a dime, don't care where I go
