No Dough Blues Lyrics

Blind Blake No Dough Blues

It's a hard hard time now : good man can't get no dough
All I do for my baby : don't satisfy her no more

I ain't got no job : now you going to put me down
You going to quit me baby : for a hard‑working clown

Time is so hard now : maybe things will change some day
And when I get a job : maybe you will change your way

Don't quit me baby : because I can't find no work to do
Because all the dirt you done for me : it's coming back
home to you

I used to be a joker : now I'm going to make a change
I'm going to get me a job : keep coal in your cold
kitchen range
