Текст песни: No Job Blues + перевод

I’ve been walkin' all day, and all night, too

I’ve been walkin' all day, and all night, too

'Cause my meal ticket woman have quit me, and I can’t find no work to do

I’s pickin' up the newspaper and I lookin' in the ads

Says, I’s pickin' up the newspaper and I lookin' in the ads

And the policeman came along and arrested me for vag

Now boys, y’all ought to see me in my black and white suit. It won’t do

I said, «Judge, Judge, what may be my fine?»

Lord, I said, «Judge, Judge, what may be my fine?»

He says, «Get you a pick and shovel and get deep down and mine»

I’m a poor black prisoner, workin' in the ice and snow

I’m a poor black prisoner, workin' in the ice and snow

I got to get me another meal ticket woman, so I won’t have to work no more
