Charlie Parr - 1922 Blues lyrics

Well I worked all summer couldn't save a cent I gave all my money to the government I don't know quite how it got spent But the banks are coming for my deed though Man at the mill can't see though Let me get my feed for free though Ain't that the way it is I cut out down a braver road I traded my stock for a V84 Danced for town down on the floor boards And the title owed down to me though That gasoline ain't free through Just guzzling out my knee bone? Ain't that the way it is Well i met me a woman down in saint paul With a little money and a little pole Bloke told me that he'd bust my jaw I talked to his sister again though Don't mean I couldn't win though There's blood running down my chin now Ain't that the way it is Well I slept all night on the bar room floor And woke up this morning my head was sore Pockets empty but I want some more The bar man's got my car though Tales worth more by far though As I leave her down at the bar now Ain't that the way it is Well I hitched me a ride on the way back home I got me a job on a family farm Times are hard here but I can't roll? And I ain't got nothing more Oh that company store Gold's looking good for sure though Ain't that the way it is Well I worked all summer counldn't save a cent I gave all my money to the government I don't know quite how it got spent But the banks are coming for my deed though Man at the mill can't see though Let me get my feed for free though Ain't that the way it is
