| It’s too bad |
| Things are going so tuff with me It’s too bad |
| Things are going so tuff with me |
| I’m blue and disgusted |
| As any poor man could be I used to have a car |
| An it was painted white an black |
| I used to have a car |
| An he was painted white an black |
| I couldn’t keep up the payments |
| An the man, he took it back |
| I used to smoke cigars |
| The very best in town |
| But bad luck an trouble |
| Is bound to tear me down |
| It’s too bad |
| Things are going so tuff with me I guess I go back to my plow |
| And start hollerin' (*whoa, haw, gee) |
| 'Play 'em for me boy, play 'em for me' |
| (piano) |
| 'You know my gal quit me' |
| 'I'm sho' in hard luck' |
| 'Get it and get it good, now' |
| 'Yes, I know' |
| 'I have so much trouble' |
| The women that I’m lovin' |
| Is followed me all around |
| I can tell by her action |
| She 'bout to put me down |
| It’s too bad |
| Things are goin' so tuff with me You have heard my story |
| Peoples, what’ch you think a me? |
| Mules and horses: whoa=stop |
| Haw=go left, gee=go right. |
