Mr. Smith
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.
Don't you realize, mr. smith?
Don't you realize what thirty dollars buy today?
Just some stockings, and that's it.
I came from havanah
My mother was wild as you are
She often said to me
My child, don't sell yourself
For just a dollar or two
If you end up like me
God bless you, child
So think it over
For that little money
You give to me, mr. smith
