Go tell mama, some man is at the door again,
With legal papers in his hand,
He's a real snake charmer,
He's got poison in his heart.
And it's tearing us apart.

CHORUS:
Stay with me baby,
Don't let 'em get us down,
When we're shoved and kicked around,
Stay with me baby,
We're gonna cut the noose,
And start our lives anew.

The wheel turns tighter,
And the banker keeps the pressure on,
Until you feel all hope is gone,
In this world of vipers,
The banker tells so many lies,
I don't know how he sleeps at night.

CHORUS:
Stay with me baby,
Don't let 'em get us down,
When we're shoved and kicked around,
Stay with me baby,
We're gonna cut the noose,
And start our lives anew.
