Thank you for the offer of the money, sir, and thank you for the wine But I'm not putting my John Henry on the little paper, I can't read it, sir, the print is much too fine Every deal I ever made took everything I had, although it wasn't much So if I deal with anyone, I'm dealing with myself, cause I'm the only one I know that I can trust All the friends I ever had would only share with me what was already mine and now belongs to us So if I ever need another friend, it will be me, cause I'm the only one I know that I can trust All the help I ever got from anyone would fit into your eye Anything that anyone I know has ever gave me cost me twice as much as it was worth to buy I hate to be ungrateful, but I am and I'm so mad that I could cuss And if I need a helping hand, I'll do it for myself, cause I'm the only one I know that I can trust All the friends I ever had would only share with me what was already mine and now belongs to us So if I ever need another friend, it will be me, cause I'm the only one I know that I can trust If I ever need another friend, it will be me, cause I'm the only one I know that I can trust The only one I know that I can trust The only one I can trust
