Official audio for Dennis Brown's original version of 'Money In My Pocket'
Originally a Jamaican hit for Dennis Brown in 1972, the self-penned 'Money In My Pocket' was recut by the singer-songwriter six years later, with the updated version proving even more successful, breaching the UK pop charts on 3 March 1979 before peaking five weeks later.
Oh yeah, yeah, Mm-mmm yeah
Money in my pocket but I just can't get no love
Money in my pocket but I just can't get no love
I'm praying for a girl to be my own
Soon you said she coming but I don't believe a word she said
Cause she run away and left me one rainy day
She made me had in mind that her love would never die
And now I'm alone, so alone, so alone, yeah, yeah
Money in my pocket but I just can't get no love, oh no
Money in my pocket but I just can't get no love
The love I had in mind was very, very hard to find, oh
It's hard for a man to live without a woman
And a woman needs a man to cling to
You'll see what love can do after making me feel blue
Ain't that a shame, woah baby
Ain't that a shame, yeah, yeah, yeah
To make me feel blue, woah yeah, yeah
Ain't that a shame, baby
Ain't that a shame...
