Song information On this page you can read the lyrics of the song If I Hock My Guitar , by - Delbert McClinton. Song from the album Tall, Dark, and Handsome, in the genre ДжазIf I Hock My Guitar |
| I came up from Mississippi |
| With a guitar full of songs |
| Thought I was really something |
| Maybe I was wrong |
| Got to make some money |
| Got to pay my dues |
| 'Cause if I hock my guitar |
| How the hell am I supposed to play the blues? |
| Filled out an application |
| For sweeping up the streets |
| They said I didn’t qualify |
| I couldn’t disagree |
| I got to find something |
| Something I can use |
| If I hock my guitar |
| Aw, hell, man |
| I can do without the honey or the sugar for my tea |
| These days I can do without a lot of things |
| My shark-skin suit and my Stacy Adams shoes |
| All I really want to do is play my blues |
| Had my last can of tuna |
| With some cold green beans |
| Not all that appetizing |
| But a man’s got to eat |
| Up against the wall |
| Nothing left to lose |
| If I hock my guitar |
| How the hell am I supposed play the blues? |
