| All my people they’re dead an gone
|
| Now, got in tough luck
|
| All my people they’re dead an gone
|
| An I haven’t got any money
|
| No place to call my home
|
| When a man gets in tough luck
|
| Nobody wants him 'round
|
| When a man gets in tough luck
|
| Nobody wants him 'round
|
| If ya haven’t got any money
|
| There is no friend to be found
|
| When a man got alots a-money
|
| He’ll have friends at ev’ry house
|
| When a man got alots a-money
|
| He’ll have friends at ev’ry house
|
| But if he haven’t got any money
|
| He’ll be treated like a cat wit’out a mouse
|
| 'Ooh, step on it'
|
| (guitar & harmonica)
|
| 'Play that thing, boy, play that'
|
| 'My fever’s a hundred an sixty below zero'
|
| Now when I got in tough luck
|
| My pig meat didn’t treat me right
|
| When I got in tough luck
|
| My pig meat didn’t treat me right
|
| But why should I worry about a pig meat?
|
| Sleepin' with an old hog ev’ry night
|
| So, when I get outta this tough luck
|
| I’m goin' to leave your home
|
| When I get outta this tough luck
|
| I’m goin' to leave your home
|
| Because you treats me mean
|
| You know you done me wrong |
