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 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' |
|
President Roosevelt said, on welfare people |
|
They gonna treat ev'ryone right |
|
Said, they give ya a can of them beans |
|
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'. |
