No Dough Blues

It's a hard hard time now, good man can't get no dough

It's a hard hard time now, good man can't get no dough

All I do for my baby don't satisfy her no more

I ain't got no job, now you going to put me down

I ain't got no job, now you going to put me down

You going to quit me baby for a hard‑working clown

Time is so hard now, maybe things will change some day

Time is so hard now, maybe things will change some day

And when I get a job maybe you will change your way

Don't quit me baby, because I can't find no work to do

Don't quit me baby, because I can't find no work to do

Because all the dirt you done for me it's coming back home to you

I used to be a joker, now I'm going to make a change

I used to be a joker, now I'm going to make a change

I'm going to get me a job keep coal in your cold kitchen range
