Whatcha gonna do, ye |
|
When the welfare turn it's back on you? |
|
You'll be standin' there stranded |
|
And there won't be a thing you can do |
|
Now you look all through your house, yeah |
|
Yes, and you can't even find a piece of bread |
|
You look all through your house, I know you do |
|
Yes, you can't even find a piece of bread |
|
I sometimes begin to wonder, yeah |
|
Yes, if you'd be better off, be better off dead |
|
Lord have mercy |

|
You have to go down to the welfare |
|
Every month to report |
|
And some of the things they say to you |
|
Will sure enough get your goat |
|
If you tell them that you're sick |
|
You better have a bad cough, lord have mercy |
|
Cause if you don't, they'll be ready to throw you off, |
|
I know they will |
|
Whatcha gonna do, lord have mercy |
|
When the welfare turns its back on you? |
|
Yeah, you'll be standin' there stranded |
|
Yes, and there ain't a thing that you can do |
