(harmonica intro)

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

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

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

But I told 'er,
'Baby an I sho' wanna go
I say, do anything in the world for ya
'But I don't wanna go down to that sto'

(harmonica, drums, guitar)

Roosevelt said, on welfare people
They treat ev'ryone right
Said, they give ya a can of beans
An a can or two of them old

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

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

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