My daddy was a brakeman on a highball traveling train

My mama she raised four little children

And the family had a good name

And papa and mama wanted all for us they never had

Big brother, little brother and sister too

None of them turned out half bad

'Cept me

Big brother went to college and became a doctor man

I guess he makes about a million dollars a year

Off of folks on insurance plan

He's got a big long Mercedes Benz and a house overlooking the town

He sits in his Jacuzzi and he watches the sun go down

And he feels real sorry for me

Little sister married a banker, yeah, he owns a country club

He bought her a big ol' racing horse and a funny lookin' little dog

He buys her big rings and diamonds and a brand new Japanese yacht

They like to get together and talk about all the things they've got

But they never mention me

I'm saying, woman
