Dry Spell Blues Part 1 |
The dry spell blues have fallen drive me from door to door |
Dry spell blues have fallen drive me from door to door |
The dry spell blues have put everybody on the killing flood |
Now the people down south sure won’t have no home |
Now the people down south sure won’t have no home |
Because the dry spell have parched all this cotton and corn |
Hard luck’s on everybody and many people are blue |
Hard luck’s on everybody and many people are blue |
Now besides the shower ain’t got no help for you |
Lord, I fold my arms and I walked away |
Lord, I fold my arms and I walked away |
Just like I tell you somebody’s got to pay |
Pork chops forty-five cents a pound cotton is only ten |
Pork chops forty-five cents a pound cotton is only ten |
I can’t keep no woman no, no, nowhere I been |
So dry old boll weevil turned up his toes and died |
So dry old boll weevil turned up his toes and died |
Now ain’t nothing to do bootleg moonshine and rye |
