Gallagher, Rory - Banker's Blues Lyrics






If you got money in the bank,
Don't let your woman draw it out,
Cause she'll take all your money...and,
Then she'll kick you out.

I once had money and a fast Cadillac car,
But I made one big mistake, let my baby know where they are,
And she took all my possessions...and,
Then she threw me out.

Now young men, heed my advice,
I'll tell you once, I may not tell you twice,
Keep an eye on your old lady anytime that she goes steppin' out.

There's only one woman that I hate more,
You know who that is, why that's my mother-in-law,
My baby's pretty fast but her mother's even faster on the draw.

My baby, my little baby I believe she's gonna jump'n shout,
And I walk down to the bank,
And I draw all of my money out.

Well you got money in the bank,
Don't let your woman draw it out,
Cause she'll take all your money...and,
Then she'll throw you out.

    great performance, the new version of this song is about how the banker will trick you into a predatory loan, trick you into a rescue loan, saddle you with increasing payments and interest, charge you to foreclose, and steal the home right out from underneath you. big problem in ireland during the mortgage/banking crisis of 2008.

    t.... ....

    I first heard King Of The Hwy by Kingfish. They play it Rockin' and fast with slide guitar that's pretty hip. For years I didn't know it was a slower Blues Song. Love learning new things. I'm re familiarizing myself with Rory and Johnny Winter. I recently did a Genesis re visit. It's fun.

    F.... ....

    @Slush Fund that sucks. guess you need to look at yourself.women are awesome

    F.... ....

    You guys are too dumb. obviously not seriously hating women.

    F.... ....

    The secret about women is in the song "treat her right", also played by Rory.

  48. S.... V....

    ναι ρε ρορυ πες μας την αληθεια σου

  49. M.... ....

    @Jolly Infidel, If you like this then you should listen to the music of the man who wrote it, Big Bill Broonzy.

  50. Q.... ....

    A tutorial on life and a tutorial on the guitar---I am 62 years young and I will attempt the guitar tutorial, I have already succumbed to the other. Rory you are a Master.RIP.

  51. U.... ....

    Hendrix, Gallagher, and Page, are all supposedly "sloppy," but they improvised like mad. That's the reason they're "sloppy." People like satriani and whatever, they all practice their studio songs and of course it'd be hard to mess up when you plan that much in advance. In conclusion, If you like that planned stuff, fine. I'll stick to improv legends<3

    U.... ....

    Unjoyful well rory wasn't sloppy . and I doesn't mean that if you improvise you are sloppy (stevie Ray Vaughan or Rory gallagher ). but page or hendrix were great because they had the feeling . so even though they were a bit sloppy the were amazing. rory had the feeling as well.i wouldn't say he is sloppy though .

    U.... ....

    Unjoyful
    Amen!

    U.... ....

    Keith Richards
    I call it rough. Sometimes he sounds like a rough version of Clapton. I like Clapton but c'mon. Rory didn't wait until "unplugged" to play acoustic.

  52. p.... ....

    you can enjoy Rory's music and still hear that yes indeed he was a bit sloppy and Satrani or Malsteen are not, however it's not all chops it's the feeling evoked , thats why Gilmore was the greatest Gutar player ever, Maybe Clapton had better Tech. skillz but Clapton was souless and could not ever make one weep as Glimore can. Enjoy Rory for what he was and let the debate go already!

  53. p.... l....

    wow ,not much of a friend, Rory was alot of things ,sloppy was not one of them, if i had to guess Satriani is probably a Rory fan ....

  54. H.... K....

    a friend told me that rory was playing sloppy and i should better listen to joe satriani..
    Now he's not my friend anymore and i;m stilll listening rory's music.

    H.... K....

    🤙🏼

    H.... K....

    Too funny! That’s how I feel.Rory is fantastic and not boring!

    H.... K....

    Your friend is speaking utter rubbish.

  55. D.... K....

    rory gallagher festival end of da month in ballyshannon co. donegal . FUCKIN YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP !!!!

  56. J.... I....

    music like this is bad for me because it makes me so wound up over the state of the music industry today, and then I always end up getting drunk and telling my friends just what exactly I think about their crappy music tastes..! I'm new to Rory Gallagher and I fucking love that classic turn around..!

  57. A.... R....

    I think he has played this song in standard tuning in A.. :)

  58. D.... H....

    Does anyone know if Rory played that song in standard or another tuning??

  59. O.... M....

    Τι υπεροχος παιχτης!
    Εραστης της κιθαρας πραγματικος.

  60. M.... D....

    Very great performance... TY for posting!

  61. w.... ....

    love how he keeps playing while he reaches for his drink at the start. =)

  62. P.... J....

    I think I must be a good 50,000 of the 72,500 views this vid has. It's awesome!

  63. w.... ....

    Thank's Rory

  64. K.... ....

    Sip of whiskey to get started?

  74. j.... ....

    Rory you are alive for ever

  75. L.... b....

    I'm 18, just feel the same as you about this. I'll never be cool enough to listen to the music charts of today.

  76. i.... ....

    What key is this? None sound right for some reason.

  77. T.... H....

    and you know whats funny. People now-a-days dont even know what blues is now. Thye think its another rapper making a recording where he lost his girl, that he cheated on 27 times. If you said any blues persons name or anyone before the 90's in that matter, no one would have a clue what it is except the people who respect the classics. Im young, and i can sit and love music like this clear back to the day when music started. People who dont respect this stupid amaze me.

  78. H.... G....

    I don't need a bank,I need the music of Rory Galllagher! I don't know,why I write this,but
    music is more than monny!

  79. d.... ....

    A great song for international women's day.

  80. B.... K....

    @skimaster07 Its in A

  81. T.... M....

    Unquestionably the best guitarist that ever drew breath !!!!!!!

  82. s.... ....

    Yeah hes class _ hesd not hafl as known as Clapton tho because he shunned the limelight. He refused to compromise to record corporations or producers messin with him Music
    I agree its regular tuning but in Key of E

  83. R.... ....

    been addicted to rory since i was introduced to his music a few days ago...awesome blues man!

  84. N.... C....

    First seen Rory at The Marquee Club in London 1967 since then I've been addicted

  85. R.... S....

    he's sweating blues, pure and immense talent

  86. t.... h....

    @Jewel123 its in E tuning

  87. Z.... F....

    imo rory is so much more capable and talented than clapton but unfortunately he is not even half as known as clapton.

  88. G.... m....

    @Jewel123 Regular tuning (EADGBE)

  89. D.... ....

    ich weiß nicht, wie oft ich den song jetzt die letzten wochen immer wieder angeklickt hab, aber irgendwie zieht der mich immer wieder an ;)

  90. Q.... ....

    @Jewel123 I'd bet due to fingering he's just in standard tuning.

  91. T.... C....

    θεοοοοοοοοοοοοοοοοοοοοοοοοοοοοοοοοοοοοοοοοοοοοοοοοοοοος!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  92. J.... ....

    Anyone know which tuning he's using?

  93. S.... J....

    @Galrikh for sure

  94. w.... ....

    The one who dislike this must be a "lady gaga"-fan!!!

  95. B.... ....

  96. D.... B....

    @miniblackh0le Sadly true. That shit killed him.

  97. p.... ....
