| Now, got in tough luck |
| All my people they’re dead an gone |
| Now, got in tough luck |
| All my people they’re dead an gone |
| An I haven’t got any money |
| No place to call my home |
| When a man gets in tough luck |
| Nobody wants him 'round |
| When a man gets in tough luck |
| Nobody wants him 'round |
| If ya haven’t got any money |
| There is no friend to be found |
| When a man got alots a-money |
| He’ll have friends at ev’ry house |
| When a man got alots a-money |
| He’ll have friends at ev’ry house |
| But if he haven’t got any money |
| He’ll be treated like a cat wit’out a mouse |
| 'Ooh, step on it' |
| (guitar & harmonica) |
| 'Play that thing, boy, play that' |
| 'My fever’s a hundred an sixty below zero' |
| Now when I got in tough luck |
| My pig meat didn’t treat me right |
| When I got in tough luck |
| My pig meat didn’t treat me right |
| But why should I worry about a pig meat? |
| Sleepin' with an old hog ev’ry night |
| So, when I get outta this tough luck |
| I’m goin' to leave your home |
| When I get outta this tough luck |
| I’m goin' to leave your home |
| Because you treats me mean |
| You know you done me wrong |
