Pot Hound 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.

You must bring me a job or money from anywhere

You must bring me a job or money from anywhere

Caus I can get your kind of lovin' in the street just anywhere

You come home every day lookin' for your stew and beans

You come home every day lookin' for your stew and beans

And you have got more nerve than any pot hound I've ever seen

Now you take your money, you have your fun

You don't have nothin', when house rent come

And I'm thru, cookin' your stew and beans

And you can eat more neckbones that any man I've ever seen

Now if you want me baby you got to make your purse show down

If you want me baby make your purse show down

And you got to put your money down where I got mine

Now you're layin' up in my bed, between my two white sheets

I can't see and smell nothin', but your doggone feet

And I'm thru, tryin' to make a man of you

And if you can't bring a job don't you look for your daily stew

I worked hard from Monday until late Saturday night

And you're a dirty mistreater, you ain't treatin' me right

And I'm thru, cookin' your stew and beans

And you's a dirty pot hound, dirty as any man I've seen
