You Should Never Charge a Poor Woman

You should never charge a poor woman for the price of her soul
for she may go to a five and dime and buy spirits over it
she can't pay for her soul and spirits both
she steals spirits and loses her soul as an unrepentant sinner
Then she gets busted as she gets caught, losing her soul and spirits both
you should never charge a poor woman for the price of her soul
