Lankum - What Will We Do When We Have No Money?

What will we do when we have no money?
Oh, true lovers, what will we do then?
Only hawk through the town for a hungry crown
And we'll yodel it over again

And what will we do if we marry a sailor?
Oh, true lovers, what will we do then?
Only sail on his ships and we'll play on his lips
And we'll yodel it over again

And what will we do if we marry a soldier?
Oh, true lovers, what will we do then?
Only hand that is gone and we'll fight for their fun
And we'll yodel it over again

And what will we do if we marry a tinker?
Oh, true lovers, what will we do then?
Only men dead and gone and walk on away from me, man
And we'll yodel it over again

And what will we do if we have a young daughter?
Oh, true lovers, what will we do then?
Only throw her on her back and walk on for their crack
And we'll yodel it over again

So what will we do when we have no money?
Oh, true lovers, what will we do then?
Only hawk through the town for a hungry crown
And we'll yodel it over again
