Papa Charlie Jackson - Forgotten Blues lyrics

My Mama don't want me, she say I ain't worth a dime My Mama don't want me, she say I ain't worth a dime Then I went to my Father, he say, "You ain't no child of mine" I go over to my Auntie's, right across the hill I go over to my Auntie's, right across the hill She says, "Boy, you ain't no good, and I b'lieve you never will" "Oh, I'm beggin' you down on my knees Oh, I'm beggin' you down on my knees Why don't you open this door, Auntie, and let me in, if you please" When you got money, your kinfolks all run you down When you got money, your kinfolks all run you down But when you get broke, they throw you out on the ground Ohhhhhh, ain't got no kinfolks now Ohhhhhh, ain't got no kinfolks now Says, the way I feel, I don't need no kinfolks nohow
