When the War Was On - Blind Willie Johnson[00:00:00]

Everybody would help[00:00:00]

When the war was on[00:00:02]

Everybody would help[00:00:04]

When the war was on[00:00:06]

Everybody would help[00:00:07]

When the war was on[00:00:09]

Well they registered everybody when the war was on[00:00:11]

Well it's just about a few years[00:00:15]

And some months ago[00:00:17]

United States come and voted for war[00:00:19]

Sammy called the men from the east and the west[00:00:22]

Get ready boys we've got to do our best[00:00:25]

Everybody would help[00:00:28]

When the war was on[00:00:30]

Everybody would help[00:00:31]

When the war was on[00:00:33]

Everybody would help[00:00:35]

When the war was on[00:00:37]

Well they registered everybody when the war was on[00:00:38]

Well President Wilson sittin' on his throne[00:00:42]

Makin' laws for everyone[00:00:47]

Didn't call the black man to lay by the white[00:00:50]

Everybody would help[00:00:57]

When the war was on[00:00:58]

Everybody would help[00:01:00]

When the war was on[00:01:01]

Everybody would help[00:01:03]

When the war was on[00:01:05]

Well they registered everybody when the war was on[00:01:06]

Price on the letter begin to raise[00:01:11]

Gettin' no better but the same old thing[00:01:14]

Eight cents on the dollar ride the train[00:01:17]

Rates gettin' cheaper take a ride again[00:01:21]

Everybody would help[00:01:24]

When the war was on[00:01:25]

Everybody would help[00:01:27]

When the war was on[00:01:29]

Everybody would help[00:01:30]

When the war was on[00:01:32]

Well they registered everybody when the war was on[00:01:34]

First you measure your boiler measure your wheat[00:01:38]

Half a pound of sugar for a person a week[00:01:42]

Folks didn't like it[00:01:45]

They blamed Uncle Sam[00:01:46]

I've got to save the sugar for the boys in France[00:01:48]

Everybody would help[00:01:51]

When the war was on[00:01:52]

Everybody would help[00:01:54]

When the war was on[00:01:56]

Everybody would help[00:01:58]

When the war was on[00:01:59]

Well they registered everybody when the war was on[00:02:01]

Well boys whupped the Germans home at last[00:02:05]

Would have brought the kaiser but he run too fast[00:02:10]

Couldn't blame the kaiser for a leavin' the land[00:02:13]

Sammy he had to save the skin of a most evil man[00:02:16]

Everybody would help[00:02:19]

When the war was on[00:02:20]

Everybody would help[00:02:22]

When the war was on[00:02:24]

When the war was on[00:02:27]

Well they registered everybody when the war was on[00:02:29]

Tax gettin' heavy have to pay[00:02:33]

Helped the boys over across the sea[00:02:36]

Mud and water up to their knees[00:02:39]

Faced the kaiser for you and me[00:02:42]

Everybody would help[00:02:45]

When the war was on[00:02:47]

Everybody would help[00:02:48]
