Red Cross Blues No. 2

歌詞

Say, you know I had a dream last night that I hadn't ever dreamt before I dreamt about the head clerk down in the Red Cross Store And I told him, "No, Great Lord, says, girl, I can't go Says, I can not go to Hill's, but I can go to the Red Cross Store" Said, you know that woman I got now, you know, she won't treat me right Every time I go home now, she want to fuss and fight And I tell her, "No, Great Lord, I can't go Says, you know I can not go to Hill's, but I can take you to that Red Cross Store" Said, you know they give you somethin' to eat at the Red Cross, you have to go get it 'fore 11:00 They done moved over to Seventeenth Street, to 1307 And I told 'em, "No, Great Lord, says, girl, I can't go Says, you know I can not go to Hill's, but I can go to that Red Cross Store" Says, I done told you once now, says, I'm sure gon' tell you twice Says, I don't want you keep up with me about the Red Cross rice And I told her, "No, Great Lord, girl, I can't go Say, you know I can not go to Hill's, but I can take you to that Red Cross Store" Say, you know I'm gon' sing this here verse now, and I'm soon ain't gon' sing no more 'Cause my wife and children is hungry, and I expect I'm gonna have to go And holler, "Oh, Great Lord, I'm gon' have to go Say, you know I just well as to go home to get my croker sack, go up yonder to that Red Cross Store" But, you know there is one thing is certain, is that all these people see The Red Cross don't give you everything you want, they'll give something you need And I told 'em, "No, Great Lord, says, I can't go Says, you know I can not go to Hill's, I've got to go to the Red Cross Store"
