Eisenhower Blues Lyrics
Hey everybody, I was talkin' to you
I ain't tellin' you jivin', this is the natural truth
[Chorus]
I got them Eisenhower blues
Thinkin' about me and you, what on earth are we gonna do?
My money's gone, my fun is gone
The way things look, how can I be here long?
[Chorus]
Taken all my money, to pay the tax
I'm only givin' you people, the natural facts
I only tellin' you people, my belief
Because I am headed straight, on relief
[Chorus]
Ain't go a dime, ain't even got a cent
I don't even have no money, to pay my rent
My baby needs some clothes, she needs some shoes
Peoples I don't know what, I'm gonna do
[Chorus]
I ain't tellin' you jivin', this is the natural truth
I got them Eisenhower blues
Thinkin' about me and you, what on earth are we gonna do?
The way things look, how can I be here long?
I'm only givin' you people, the natural facts
I only tellin' you people, my belief
Because I am headed straight, on relief
I don't even have no money, to pay my rent
My baby needs some clothes, she needs some shoes
Peoples I don't know what, I'm gonna do
