Movin' Day
Oye!
I can't remember where I got these lyrics. While I try and remember, Here are the lyrics from the Charlie Poole site:

IT'S MOVIN' DAY

Landlord said this morning to me
"Give me your key, this lot ain't free
I can't get no rent out of you
Pack up your rags and skidoo, you"
"I've been waiting till my Bill comes home
He's my honey from the honeycomb
He'll have money 'cause he told me so this morning"

    Because it's moving day, moving day
    Rip the carpet up off the floor
    Load your oil stove and out the door
    'Cause it's moving day
    Pack your bed quilts and get away
    If you spend every cent you can live out in a tent
    It's moving day^^^
