Woody Guthrie - Ashes To Ashes, Dust To Dust lyrics

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust Show me a woman that a man can trust Snakes on the desert and fish in the sea A rattlesnake mama made a s**er out of me O tell me how long must I have to wait? Can I get you now or must I hesitate? Bacon to bacon and beans to beans I got a cornbread mama in New Orleans Turtles in the rivers, alligators in the swamp A Louisiana mama keeps a man on the jump O tell me how long must I have to wait... It's beer to beer and ale to ale I got a L.A. mama in the Frisco Jail Gold in the mountains, copper in the hills They caught my gal with a forty gallon still O tell me how long must I have to wait... Ham to ham and eggs to eggs If I don't get a pension I'll have to beg There's a lot of crooked politician men; It would be all right if it wasn't for them O tell me how long must I have to wait... I tried to get a job all over town; Seven hundred places they turned me down They told me six weeks I could get relief But I ain't got a bite to eat O tell me how long must I have to wait...
