Tight Time Blues

Times is done got so tight: so I’m going to rob and steal
It’s done got so tight: a man can’t get a decent meal
I ain’t got no shoes: and I ain’t got no clothes
The house rent man: has done put my things outdoors
It was thundering out and lightning: oh Lord how it did rain
But somehow: I’m going to get even with that house rent man
I’ve done got evil: and I’ve done got mean
And when I start to stealing: I’m going to pick the rounders clean
