Jimmy Reed - Over the Hump lyrics

Mother had a welfare rent We lived in a freezin' up house The only time we saw some meat Was when we chopped 'em out Hand me down clothes Had holes in and out Now I am a rich man So happy I could shout Over the hump, no more bump Over the hump, no more bump Now I am a rich man No more bump for me I once saw a woman, I thought that I could date She backed to look at me and asked about my gig I bought her a sweater, not knowin' what she think She threw it back at me, now, now I can buy a mink Over the hump, no more bump Over the hump, no more bump Now I am a rich man, no more bump for me (I hear ya Jimmy) I was twenty-one, went to buy a beer The bartender looked at me, an' said "tramp get out-a here" I took back my money, wiped the sweat from my face Now I am so angry, I think I'll buy the place Over the hump, no more bump Over the hump, no more bump Now I am a rich man, there's no more bump for me (I hear ya fine)
