Welfare Store Blues (Remastered 2003) - Sonny Boy Williamson

Written by：Williamson/Sonny Boy

Now me an my baby we talked late last night

An we talked for another hour

She wanted me to go down to the welfare sto

And get a sack a that welfare flour

But I told her no

Baby an I sho don't wanna go

I said I'll do anything in the world for you

I don't wanna go down to that welfare sto

Now you need to go get you some real white man

You know to sign yo little note

They give ya a pair of them king toed shoes

I want no a them pleat back soldier coat

But I told er no

Baby an I sho don't wanna go

I say I'll do anything in the world for ya

But I don't wanna go down to that welfare sto

President Roosevelt said on welfare people

They gonna treat everyone right

Said they give ya a can of them beans

An a can or two of them old tripe

But I told er no

Baby an I sho don't wanna go

I say I'll do anything in the world for ya

But I don't wanna go down to that welfare sto now

Well now me an my baby we talked yesterday

An we talked in my backyard

She said I'll take care a you sonny boy

Just as long as these times stay hard

An I told her yeah baby an I sho won't have to go

I said if you do that for me

I won't have to go down to that welfare sto
