|
| 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? |
