Here's the Josh White blues for you:BAD HOUSING BLUES
(Josh White)
I woke up this morning rain water in my bed (x2)
You know my roof was leaking, lord leaking on my head
Now there ain't no reason I should live this way (x2)
I done lost my job can't even get on the WPA
Lord I wonder when I'll hear good news (x2)
Right now I'm gonna tell you how I got them bad housing blues
I'm goin' to the Capitol, goin' to the White House lawn (x2)
Better wipe out these slums, been this way since I was born
