Jobless Blues
Author: Unknown
Verse I
Was doin' good, my eagle flyin' high,
Yeah, doin' good, my eagle flew so high,
Then all at once that well it just ran dry.
Chorus
Can't find no work now, don't know what to do,
There ain't no work, what am I s'posed to do?
Just one more fool to sing these jobless blues.
Verse II
My unemployment lasted for a while,
Yeah, unemployment saved me for a while,
Now it's all gone an' bills are pilin' high.
Verse III
Not on the street but guess it won't be long,
Not homeless yet but can't be very long,
Til landlord say it's time for movin on.
Verse IV
Worked all my life, ain't never been this way,
I've worked so hard, how could it be this way?
With nothin' left to keep the wolves at bay.
