Leroy Carr Tight Time Blues
Times is done got so tight : so I'm going to rob and
steal
It's done got so tight : a man can't get a decent meal
I ain't got no shoes : and I ain't got no clothes
The house rent man : has done put my things outdoors
It was thundering out and lightning : oh Lord how it did
rain
But somehow : I'm going to get even with that house rent
man
I've done got evil : and I've done got mean
And when I start to stealing : I'm going to pick the
rounders clean
