If 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? |
