Big Bill Blues (These Blues Are Doggin' Me)

歌詞

Everybody's working in this town, and it's worrying me night and day If that mean working too, have to work for the W.P.A. Well well the landlord come this morning, and he knocked on my door He asked me, if I was going to pay my rent no more He said you have to move, if you can't pay And then he turned, and he walked slowly away So I have to try, find me some other place to stay That housewrecking crew's coming, from the W.P.A. Well well went to the relief station, and I didn't have a cent If that's the only way you stand, you don't have to pay no rent So when I got back home, they was tacking a notice on the door This house is condemned, and you can't live there no more So a notion struck me, I better be on my way They're going to tear my house down, ooo that crew from the W.P.A. Well well I went out next morning, I put a lock on my door I thought I would move, but I have no place to go The real estate people, they all done got so They don't rent, to no relief clients no more So I know, have to walk the streets night and day Because that wrecking crew's coming, ooo from that W.P.A. Well well a notion struck me, I'll try to stay a day or two But I soon found out, that that wouldn't do Early next morning, while I was laying in my bed I heard a mighty rumbling, and the bricks come tumbling down on my head So I had to start ducking and dodging, and be on my way They was tearing my house down on me, ooo that crew from that W.P.A.
