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'
