《WPA Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] W.P.A. Blues - Casey Bill Weldon

[00:00:10] Everybody's working in this town and it's worrying me night and day

[00:00:20] Everybody's working in this town and it's worrying me night and day

[00:00:29] If that mean working too have to work for the W P A

[00:00:39] Well well the landlord come this morning and he knocked on my door

[00:00:45] He asked me if I was going to pay my rent no more

[00:00:50] He said you have to move if you can't pay

[00:00:54] And then he turned and he walked slowly away

[00:00:58] So I have to try find me some other place to stay

[00:01:08] That housewrecking crew's coming from the W P A

[00:01:17] Well well went to the relief station and I didn't have a cent

[00:01:23] If that's the only way you stand you don't have to pay no rent

[00:01:28] So when I got back home they was tacking a notice on the door

[00:01:32] This house is condemned and you can't live there no more

[00:01:37] So a notion struck me I better be on my way

[00:01:46] They're going to tear my house down ooo that crew from the W P A

[00:01:56] Well well I went out next morning I put a lock on my door

[00:02:02] I thought I would move but I have no place to go

[00:02:06] The real estate people they all done got so

[00:02:11] They don't rent to no relief clients no more

[00:02:15] So I know have to walk the streets night and day

[00:02:25] Because that wrecking crew's coming ooo from that W P A

[00:02:34] Well well a notion struck me I'll try to stay a day or two

[00:02:40] But I soon found out that that wouldn't do

[00:02:45] Early next morning while I was laying in my bed

[00:02:49] I heard a mighty rumbling and the bricks come tumbling down on my head

[00:02:53] So I had to start ducking and dodging and be on my way

[00:03:03] They was tearing my house down on me ooo that crew from that W P A
