Now you done spent all my nineteen forty rent : woman you done worked on my substitute
Then if you don't reach that nineteen forty‑one : ooh babe what in the world you going to do
Now you ought to cut off so many trucks and tractors : white folks you ought to work more mules and men
Then you know that would make : ooh boy money get thick again
Now when a man gets to gambling : you know he's turning his stocks into feed
He say he going to sell his corn and buy gas : ooh boys pour it in the automobile
Now I been studying I been wondering : what makes a man turn the ground over in the wintertime
You know let the snow and rain rot the grass : ooh boys that make fertilizer for the ground
Now the government give us a school in Brownsville : boy you know I think that's very nice
You know the children can go in the daytime : ooh boys and the old folks have it at night
