Tin Cup Blues Songtext
von Blind Lemon Jefferson

I was down and out, cried, my soulshake wouldn′t come a-nigh
I was down and I cried, my soulshake won't come a-nigh
And it′s tough to see a man go through
The rations, almost starve and die
I stood on the corner, and I almost bust my head
I stood on the corner, almost bust my head
I didn't earn enough money to buy me a loaf of bread
Baby, times is so hard, I almost call it tough I said baby, times is so hard, I almost call it tough
I can't earn money to buy no bread, and I can′t buy my snuff
My gal′s a housemaid, and she earns a dollar a week
I said my gal's a housemaid, and she earns a dollar a week
And I′m so hung around pity, I can hardly speak
Now, gather around me, people, let me tell you true facts
I said gather around me, people, let me tell you true facts
That tough luck has struck me and it's rent the demon in my hat
