pawnshop

From: GUEST,ron from Malta

I am looking for the lyrics of a blues. I only remember the following words: "I went to the pawnshop, wanted to pawn my radio" 2x "but the pawnshop man says, we don't take radio's anymore"

There is also a sentence with:"and I lost my job, man did come and take my car"..........????????????

Who can help me

Thanks....RON icc.malta@onvol.net

I once had a Brownie McGee and Sonny Terry LP with "Pawnshop Blues" on it. Wish I could find it.

And we never did get an answer to the question "Why does the ball in the middle hang lower than the other two?"
