(harmonica intro)

Now me an my baby we talked late last
An we talked for hour
She me to go down to the welfare sto'
And get a sack welfare flour

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

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

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 to that welfare sto'

(harmonica, drums, guitar)

Roosevelt said, on welfare people
They gonna 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 anything in the for ya
'But I don't go down to that welfare sto', now

Well now, me an my baby we yesterday
An we in my backyard
She said, 'I'll take care-a you, Boy
Just as long as times stay hard'
An I told her, 'Yeah, baby an I sho' have to go'

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