high inflation blues
Tryin' to make a livin' it's harder every day By the time I see a dollar just another bill to pay I got a wife and family and the bills are pilin' high These days it ain't easy for a working man to get by  I can't help but wonder what a man suppose to do I got those hard breaking escalatin' high inflation blues  By the time I get the payday the money's already gone Someone's eatin' chicken all I git is the bones My wife needs a new coat the kids need clothes to school We're all out of grocery's and it's Tuesday afternoon  Well it could drive a man to drinkin' but I can't afford the booze I got those hard breaking escalatin' high inflation blues  The cost of livin' keeps goin' up the taxes ain't goin' down I'm just treadin' water to tryin' not to drown Mr Courter I know you're up there and I should could use a hen So won't you please have mercy on a common working man  I just keep on tryin' doin' all that I can do I got those hard breaking escalatin' high inflation blues (yodel)
