Leadbelly - Red Cross Store Blues lyrics

(chorus:) I told her no! Baby you know I don't wanna go Yes, and I ain't goin' Down to no Red Cross door She come down yes, and tell me I wanna talk with you in just a little while Ain't you goin' down and fight for your wife and child? [Chorus:] She come down here and she shook my hand She said Daddy I want you to go down there and fight for me like a man [Chorus:] She said the Red Cross people they treat you mighty fine They mixing everything up with whiskey and wine [Chorus:] She come down here talkin' to me about the war I told her baby I ain't done nothing to go there for [Chorus:] She come down here and she fell down on her knees I said baby you have to look somewhere for your bu*ter and cheese [Chorus:] She said Daddy I just come down here to tell you so You better go running down to that Red Cross door [Chorus:]
