Providence Help the Poor People - Big Joe Williams[00:00:00]
Written by:Big Joe Williams[00:00:01]
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[00:00:35]
Gonna help no more[00:00:36]
Told them[00:00:38]
No providence it ain't gonna help no more[00:00:40]
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[00:00:55]
Gonna be no hard times no more[00:00:56]
He gonna let the poor people go any place[00:00:59]
They wants to go[00:01:00]
I told him[00:01:03]
Yes providence it ain't gonna help no more[00:01:04]
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[00:01:17]
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[00:01:31]
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[00:01:43]
And my babe a place to stay[00:01:44]
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[00:02:09]
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[00:02:19]
Lord I won't be back here at all[00:02:21]
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[00:02:32]
I could not fill her place[00:02:34]
Lord I believe I'll get up in the mornin' hoo Lord[00:02:38]
I believe I'll leave this place[00:02:41]
Every mornin' the clock be strikin' eight[00:02:47]
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[00:02:55]
They wasn't gonna help me no more[00:02:57]
