it’s too bad
things are going so tuff with me
it’s too bad
things are going so tuff with me
i’m blue and disgusted
as any poor man could be
i used to have a car
an it was painted white an black
i used to have a car
an he was painted white an black
i couldn’t keep up the payments
an the man, he took it back
i used to smoke cigars
the very best in town
but bad luck an trouble
is bound to tear me down
it’s too bad
things are going so tuff with me
i guess i go back to my plow
and start hollerin’ (-whoa, haw, gee)
‘play ’em for me boy, play ’em for me’
(piano)
‘you know my gal quit me’
‘i’m sho’ in hard luck’
‘get it and get it good, now’
‘yes, i know’
‘i have so much trouble’
the women that i’m lovin’
is followed me all around
i can tell by her action
she ’bout to put me down
it’s too bad
things are goin’ so tuff with me
you have heard my story
peoples, what’ch you think a me?
~
-whoa, haw, gee
mules and horses: whoa=stop
haw=go left, gee=go right.
