Ivy pack up she clothes to leave 
Because John was down and out 
All alone he was left to grieve 
She had a next man in South 
She said openly 
I really love you Johnny 
But you ain't have no money 
So what will my future be 
Even though you love me? 

We can't love without money 
We can't make love on hungry belly 
Johnny you'll be the only one I'm dreaming of 
You're my turtle dove 
But no money no love 

If you hear how he plead with she to get she to understand 
Listen, mister, she tell Johnny 
Leggo me blasted hand 
And make up your mind 
We got to break up this lime 
She said poverty is a crime 
You got no money 
Still you tanglin' me all the blinkin' time 

We can't love without money 
We can't make love on hungry belly 
Johnny you'll be the only one I'm dreaming of 
You're my turtle dove 
But no money no love 

Gentleman let me tell you plain 
She say I don't want to make a scene 
But if you only touch me again 
The police will intervene 
You ain't got a cent 
I couldn't even pay me rent 
I had to give up me apartment 
You give me nothing to eat 
Now you want me to sleep on the pavement 

We can't love without money 
We can't make love on hungry belly 
Johnny you'll be the only one I'm dreaming of 
You're my turtle dove 
But no money no love 

Johnny nearly killed she with blows 
Poor Ivy bawl like a cow 
Rip up she wig and he tear down she clothes 
The South man ain't want she now 
Oh, Lord, what a fight 
They roll until broad daylight 
Charlotte street was hot that night 
She get some good lick but she let go kick and some bite 

We can't love without money 
We can't make love on hungry belly 
Johnny you'll be the only one I'm dreaming of 
You're my turtle dove 
But no money no love
