(harmonica intro)

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

But I told her,
'Baby an I sho' wanna go'
I said, 'I'll do in the world for you
I don't wanna go down to that welfare

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 a-them pleat-back, coat

But I 'er, 'No'
'Baby an I sho' wanna go
I say, 'I'll do in the world for ya
'But I wanna go down to that welfare 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 old tripe

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

Well now, me an my we talked 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, an I sho' won't have to go'

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