Moe Bandy - High Inflation Blues lyrics

Tryin' to make a livin' it's harder every day By the time I see a dollar just another bill to pay I got a wife and family and the bills are pilin' high These days it ain't easy for a working man to get by I can't help but wonder what a man suppose to do I got those hard breaking escalatin' high inflation blues [ steel ] By the time I get the payday the money's already gone Someone's eatin' chicken all I git is the bones My wife needs a new coat the kids need clothes to school We're all out of grocery's and it's Tuesday afternoon Well it could drive a man to drinkin' but I can't afford the booze I got those hard breaking escalatin' high inflation blues [ fiddle ] The cost of livin' keeps goin' up the taxes ain't goin' down I'm just treadin' water to tryin' not to drown Mr Courter I know you're up there and I should could use a hen So won't you please have mercy on a common working man I just keep on tryin' doin' all that I can do I got those hard breaking escalatin' high inflation blues (yodel)
