Now, got in tough luck

All my people they’re dead an gone

Now, got in tough luck

All my people they’re dead an gone

An I haven’t got any money

No place to call my home

When a man gets in tough luck

Nobody wants him 'round

When a man gets in tough luck

Nobody wants him 'round

If ya haven’t got any money

There is no friend to be found

When a man got alots a-money

He’ll have friends at ev’ry house

When a man got alots a-money

He’ll have friends at ev’ry house

But if he haven’t got any money

He’ll be treated like a cat wit’out a mouse

'Ooh, step on it'

(guitar & harmonica)

'Play that thing, boy, play that'

'My fever’s a hundred an sixty below zero'

Now when I got in tough luck

My pig meat didn’t treat me right

When I got in tough luck

My pig meat didn’t treat me right

But why should I worry about a pig meat?

Sleepin' with an old hog ev’ry night

So, when I get outta this tough luck

I’m goin' to leave your home

When I get outta this tough luck

I’m goin' to leave your home

Because you treats me mean

You know you done me wrong
