(harmonica intro)

Now me an my baby we talked late last
An we talked for another
She wanted me to go to the welfare sto'
And get a a-that welfare flour

But I her, 'No'
'Baby an I don't wanna go'
I said, 'I'll do anything in the for you
I wanna go down to that welfare sto'

Now, you need to go get you real, white man
You know, to yo' little note
They ya a pair of them king-toed shoes
I want no pleat-back, soldier coat

But I 'er, 'No'
'Baby an I sho' don't go
I say, do anything in the world for ya
'But I wanna go down to that welfare sto'

(harmonica, drums, guitar)

President Roosevelt said, on welfare
gonna treat ev'ryone right
Said, they give ya a can of them
An a can or two of old tripe

But I 'er, 'No'
'Baby, an I don't wanna go
I say, 'I'll do in the world for ya
'But I wanna go down to that welfare sto', now

now, me an my baby we talked yesterday
An we in my backyard
She said, 'I'll take you, Sonny Boy
as long as these times stay hard'
An I told her, 'Yeah, baby an I won't have to go'

I said, 'If you do for me
I won't have to go down to welfare sto'.
