Now me and my baby we talked late last night

And we talked for another hour

She wanted me to go down to the welfare sto'

And get a sack a-that welfare flour

But I told her 'no'

'Baby and I sho' don't wanna go'

I said 'I'll do anything in the world for you

I don't wanna go down to that welfare sto'

Now you need to go get you some real white man

You know to sign yo' little note

They give ya a pair of them king-toed shoes

I want no a-them pleat-back soldier coat

But I 'no'told 'er

'Baby and I sho' don't wanna go

I say 'I'll do anything in the world for ya

'But I don't wanna go down to that welfare sto'

President roosevelt said on welfare people

They gonna treat ev'ryone right

Said they give ya a them can beansof

And a can or two of them old tripe

But I told 'er 'no'

'Baby and I sho' don't wanna go

I say 'I'll do anything in the world for ya

'But I don't wanna go down to that welfare sto' now

Well now me and my baby we talked yesterday

And we talked in my backyard

She said 'I'll take care-a you sonny boy

Just as long as these times stay hard'

And I told her 'yeah baby and I sho' won't have to go'

I said 'if you do that for me

I won't have to go down to that welfare sto'
