Providence Help The Poor People - Big Joe Williams[00:00:00]
Written by:Big Joe Williams[00:00:02]
Well the Providence helpin' the poor people[00:00:05]
Lord those could not help theirselves[00:00:09]
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[00:00:34]
Told them[00:00:37]
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[00:00:47]
Well Mr. Roosevelt told me ain't gonna be no hard times no more[00:00:54]
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[00:01:02]
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[00:01:22]
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[00:01:32]
Well it's some has a shovel some has a spade[00:01:38]
You know the Providence will give me and my babe a place to stay[00:01:42]
And I told them no he wasn't gonna help you no more[00:01:45]
Well well it may be tomorrow hoo[00:01:52]
Lord I don't really know[00:01:54]
Well the rooster told the hen the hen go lay[00:02:03]
She told him[00:02:08]
No the Providence give me a place to stay[00:02:08]
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[00:02:25]
She said[00:02:28]
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[00:02:52]
They told me no they wasn't gonna help me no more[00:02:54]
