Joni Mitchell - Raised on Robbery video free download

Stephen Thompson

"Raised On Robbery"He was sitting in the lounge of the Empire HotelHe was drinking for diversion, he was thinking for himselfA little money riding on the Maple LeafsAlong comes a lady in lacy sleevesShe says, let me sit down, you know drinking alone's a shame, it's a shame, it's a crying shameLook at those jokers glued to that damn hockey gameHey honey, you've got lots of cashBring us down a bottle and we'll have some laughsGin's what I'm drinking, I was raised on robberyI'm a pretty good cook, sitting on my groceriesCome up to my kitchen, I'll show you my best recipeI try and I try but I can't save a centI'm up after midnight cooking, trying to make my rentI'm rough but I'm pleasing, I was raised on robberyWe had a little money once, they were pushing through a four lane highwayGovernment gave us three thousand dollars, you should have seen it fly awayFirst he bought a '57 Biscayne, he put it in the ditchHe drunk up all the rest, that son of a bitchHis blood's bad whiskey, I was raised on robberyYou know you ain't bad looking, I like the way you hold your drinksCome home with me honey, I ain't asking for no full-length minkHey, where you going, don't go yetYour glass ain't empty and we just metYou're mean when you're loaded, I was raised on robbery
