Red Beans And Rice

Red Beans And Rice - Kokomo Arnold

When I was down in Georgia

I was doing mighty well

When I was down in Georgia

I was doing mighty well

Since I been here in Chicago

I been catching a plenty hell

Says I'm going down to the station

Ain't going to take no one's advice

Says I'm going down to the station

Ain't going to take no one's advice

Says I'm going back to Georgia

Where I can get my red beans and rice

Now these Chicago women

Have give me such a hard way to go

Now these Chicago women

Have give me such a hard way to go

Says they done took all my black money

And they got me running from door to door

Now I been setting here looking

Way down that lonesome road

Now I been setting here looking

Way down that lonesome road

Says I'm raggedy and I'm hungry

And I ain't got no place to go

Now I been rolling

I been rolling from sun to sun

Hey Now I been rolling

Rolling from sun to sun

Says I got where I can't get no loving

Not until my payday comes
