recording of October 16. 1938, Detroit, Michigan
from
The Devil Is Busy (Laurie 7002)
Welfare helping people that cannot help themselves
Welfare helping people that cannot help themselves
I said, "Boys, they ain‘t gonna help you unless you‘ve lived in Detroit one year"
Once your case is open they‘ll give you plenty of food and clothes
Once your case is open they‘ll give you plenty of food and clothes
I said, "Boys, they won‘t help you till you have told everything you know"
You go down to the welfare, they‘ll make you sit there all day
Go down to the welfare, they‘ll make you sit there all day
Until they know they ain‘t gonna help you, they‘ll make you sit there and wait
Oh, boys, I believe I‘ll go there myself
Yes, boys, I believe I‘ll go there myself
I say, I tell‘em I ain‘t got nothing and I declare that I need their help
