My husband thinks that I'm crazy & that no such song ever existed. But I remember the tune & this portion of the lyrics. Thanks for your help in resolving this issue in our household!

Deep Purple sang the first one
Helix sang the second one
BUT THE ONE YOU ARE WANTING
was done by Hoyt Axton.
Artist/Band: Axton Hoyt
Lyrics for Song: Boney Fingers
Lyrics for Album: Gotta Keep Rollin'
See the rain comin' down and the roof won't hold 'er
Lost my job and I feel a little older
Car won't run and our love's grown colder
But maybe things'll get a little better, in the mornin'
Maybe things'll get a little better.
Oh! the clothes need washin' and the fire won't start
Kids all cryin' and you're breakin' my heart
Whole darn place is fallin' apart
Maybe things'll get a little better, in the mornin'
Maybe things'll get a little better.
Refrain:
Work your fingers to the bone - whadda ya get?
( Whoo-whoo ) Boney Fingers - Boney Fing-gers.
Yea! I've been broke as long as I remember
Get a little money and I gotta run and spend 'er
When I try to save it, pretty woman come and take it
Sayin' maybe things'll get a little better, in the mornin'
Maybe things'll get a little better.
Refrain:
Yea! the grass won't grow and the sun's too hot
The whole darn world is goin' to pot
Might as well like it 'cause you're all that I've got
But, maybe things'll get a little better, in the mornin'
Maybe things'll get a little better.
Refrain:
