It's Too Short
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Now I'm down and out : ain't got no friends around
I'm going from door to door : everybody turns me down
Now my woman treats me : [just] like I'm a motherless child
She's always squabbling : she don't give me a ??? smile*
Now here I am people : out in the ice and snow
My clothes all in pawn : ain't got nowhere to go
She said she liked my music : but my tune's too short
But if she gets long winded player : she's sure to get caught
Now babe I can't help it : if I can't play long
I'm just a little skinny fellow : and a player is strong
