Welfare Store Blues - Sonny Boy Williamson
Now me an my baby we talked late last night
An we talked for another hour
She wanted me to go down to the welfare sto'
And get a sack a-that welfare flour
But I told her 'No'
'Baby an I sho' don't wanna go'
I said 'I'll do anything in the world for you
I don't wanna go down to that welfare sto'
Now you need to go get you some real white man
You know to sign yo' little note
They give ya a pair of them king-toed shoes
I want no a-them pleat-back soldier coat
But I 'No'told 'er
'Baby an I sho' don't wanna go
I say 'I'll do anything in the world for ya
'But I don't wanna go down to that welfare sto'
President Roosevelt said on welfare people
They gonna treat ev'ryone right
Said they give ya a them can beansof
An a can or two of them old tripe
But I told 'er 'No'
'Baby an I sho' don't wanna go
I say 'I'll do anything in the world for ya
'But I don't wanna go down to that welfare sto' now
Well now me an my baby we talked yesterday
An we talked in my backyard
She said 'I'll take care-a you Sonny Boy
Just as long as these times stay hard'
An I told her 'Yeah baby an I sho' won't have to go'
I said 'If you do that for me
I won't have to go down to that welfare sto'
