FURNITURE MAN
As sung by Georgia White, 1939
Furniture man, please don't take my furniture 'way. (2x)
I'm a hard-workin' woman an' I don't get much pay.
Furniture man, I'm just crazy 'bout my foldin' bed. (2x)
Lord, that's my only pleasure; that's where I rest my head.
Installment plan, you only pay a few dollars down. (2x)
A dollar when they catch you, but you are seldom found.
Look what I see; here come that doggone movin' van. (2x)
I know what will happen if I don't pay that man.
Furniture man, don't take my cozy Morris chair. (2x)
That's where me and my daddy have our love affair.
Furniture man, let me have another week to pay. (2x)
My man will bring some money to me on the next payday.
