Turpentime Blues

Turpentine’s all right, provided that wages are good
Turpentine’s all right, provided that wages are good
But i can make more money now, by somewhere choppin' hardwood
Turpentine business ain’t like it used to be
Turpentine business ain’t like it used to be
I can’t make enough money now, to even get on a spree
I ain’t gonna work no more, i tell you the reason why
I ain’t gonna work no more, tell you the reason why
Because everybody wants to sell, and nobody wants to buy
You can work in the field, you can work at the sawmill too
You can work in the field, you can work at the sawmill too
But you can’t make no money, at nothin' you try to do
So lordy please tell me what we turpentine people are gonna do
Lordy please tell me what we turpentine people gonna do
We may work one week, but we got to lay off a month or two
Turpentine is like dice, to shoot you up on the loose
Turpentine is just like dice, to shoot you up on the loose
That’s the reason why, i’ve got those turpentine blues
