Providence Help The Poor People - Big Joe Williams[00:00:00]

Written by：Big Joe Williams[00:00:03]

Well the Providence helpin' the poor people[00:00:06]

Lord those could not help theirselves[00:00:10]

Well the Providence helpin' the poor people[00:00:15]

Those could not help theirselves boy[00:00:18]

They give 'em all a meal a day boys[00:00:23]

Then they help someone else[00:00:26]

I went to the office this mornin' 'bout a half past four[00:00:31]

Heard Mr. Roosevelt say they wasn't gonna help no more[00:00:35]

Told them[00:00:38]

No Providence it ain't gonna help no more[00:00:38]

Well well it may be tomorrow hoo hoo[00:00:45]

Lord I don't really know[00:00:48]

Well Mr. Roosevelt told me ain't gonna be no hard times no more[00:00:55]

He gonna let the poor people go any place they wants to go[00:00:58]

I told him[00:01:02]

Yes Providence it ain't gonna help no more[00:01:03]

Well well it may be tomorrow hoo[00:01:08]

Lord I won't be back no more[00:01:10]

I got up this mornin' 'bout a half past eight[00:01:16]

Started down Pine Street boy to get my meal ticket straight[00:01:20]

They told me[00:01:23]

No Providence it ain't gonna help no more[00:01:23]

Well well it may be tomorrow hoo[00:01:30]

Lord might dust my bed to go[00:01:33]

Well it's some has a shovel some has a spade[00:01:39]

You know the Providence will give me and my babe a place to stay[00:01:43]

And I told them no he wasn't gonna help you no more[00:01:45]

Well well it may be tomorrow hoo[00:01:53]

Lord I don't really know[00:01:55]

Well the rooster told the hen the hen go lay[00:02:04]

She told him[00:02:08]

No the Providence give me a place to stay[00:02:09]

She told him no she don't have to lay no more[00:02:11]

Well well it may be tomorrow hoo[00:02:18]

Lord I won't be back here at all[00:02:20]

I aksed my woman this mornin' could I fill her place[00:02:26]

She said[00:02:29]

No Joe the Providence give me a place to stay[00:02:29]

She told me no Lord[00:02:31]

I could not fill her place[00:02:33]

Lord I believe I'll get up in the mornin' hoo Lord[00:02:38]

I believe I'll leave this place[00:02:40]

Every mornin' the clock be strikin' eight[00:02:46]

That's when I go down to Providence boy and[00:02:51]

I can't get my business straight[00:02:53]

They told me no they wasn't gonna help me no more[00:02:55]
