Times Is Tight Like That

Listen here people, little song composed
 Times is hard and everybody knows
 Oh baby, times is tight like that
 If you come to my house, just come across the field
 If you don't bring the flour bring the meat and meal
 Oh baby, times is tight like that
 I worked all summer and I worked all the fall
 Got to take my christmas in my overhauls
 Oh baby, times is tight like that
 Ten cent cotton and twenty cent meat
 How in the world can a poor man eat
 Oh baby, times is tight like that
 Listen here man I wanna tell you the fact
 Don't' bring some money, says, don't ya come back
 Oh baby, times is tight like that
 Listen here daddy, don't mean to rob and steal
 Takes a little money, said, to roll this wheel
 Oh baby, times is tight like that
 When I was up and had plenty money
 You was hugging an' a kissing' an' callin' me honey
 Oh baby, times is tight like that
 Now because I ain't got a dollar in my hand
 Wanna do your cooking' for another man
 Oh baby, times is tight like that
 Listen here baby give me one more chance
 I'll bring ya some money if have to pawn my pants
 Oh baby, times is tight like that
 Listen here, baby, times is so tough
 I'm grieved the old woman got to sell this stuff
 Oh baby, times is tight like that
 I ain't working 'cause times is tough
 Men ain't got no money, said, to buy your stuff
 Oh baby, times is tight like that
