Summertime Blues

Well, Lord, I gotta raise a fuss

Lord, I gotta raise a holler

About workin' all summer

Just to try the earn a dollar

Well, Lord, I tried to call my baby

I tried to get a date

Sometimes, I wonder

What I'm gonna do

Lord, there ain't no cure

For the summertimes blues

Well, my mama, papa told me

"Son, you gotta make some money"

Well, if you wanna use the car

To go a ridin' next sunday

Oh, Lord, I didn't go to work

I told the boss I was sick, said

Sometimes, I wonder

What I'm gonna do

Lord, there ain't no cure

For the summertimes blues

I gotta take three weeks

I gotta have a fine vacation

I gotta take my problem

To the United Nation

I done told my congressman

And he said quote, "Dig this boy"

Sometimes, I wonder

What I'm gonna do

Lord, there ain't no cure

For the summertimes blues

I gotta take three weeks

I gotta have a fine vacation

I gotta take my problem

To the United Nation

I done told my congressman

And he said quote, "Dig this boy"

Sometimes, I wonder

What I'm gonna do

Lord, there ain't no cure

For the summertimes blues

Whoa, there ain't no cure
