Tight Time Blues
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Times is done got so tight : so I'm going to rob and steal
It's done got so tight : a man can't get a decent meal
I ain't got no shoes : and I ain't got no clothes
The house rent man : has done put my things outdoors
It was thundering out and lightning : oh Lord how it did rain
But somehow : I'm going to get even with that house rent man
I've done got evil : and I've done got mean
And when I start to stealing : I'm going to pick the rounders clean
