Yes, my baby told me this morning, just about the break of day
My baby told me this morning, just about the break of day
Yes you want to get up this morning, get you a job on that WPA

I says I'm a gambler, and I gamble night and day
I says I'm a gambler, I gamble night and day
Yes I don't need no job, on that WPA

She said I'm leaving you now daddy, yes that's all I've got to say
She said I'm leaving you now daddy, yes that's all I've got to say
She said I'm going to get me a man that's working on that WPA

Say now the wind is howling, and it's howling night and day
Oh the wind is howling, and it's howling night and day
I'm gonna quit my pimp, get me a man on that WPA

So hard luck has overtake me, have to throw my dice and cards away
So hard luck has overtake me, have to throw my dice and cards away
Yes I have to try to get me a job on that WPA
