Tight Time Blues

Times is done got so tight, so I'm going to rob and steal

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

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 and a lightning, oh Lord how it did rain

It was thundering and a 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

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
