No Job Blues

No Job Blues - Ramblin' Thomas & The Dallas Blues Singers

I been walking all day

And all night too

I been walking all day

And all night too

'Cause my meal ticket

Woman have quit me

And I can't

Find no work to do

I picking up the newspaper

And I looking in the ads

And I picking up the newspaper

And I looking in the ads

And the policeman came along

And he arrested me for vag

Now boys y'all ought to see me in my black and white suit

It won't do

I said Judge Judge what may be my fine

Lord I say Judge Judge what may be my fine

He says get you a pick and shovel and get deep down in mine

I'm a poor black prisoner workin' in the ice and snow

I'm a poor black prisoner workin' in the ice and snow

I got to get me another meal ticket woman

So I won't have to work no more
