Spoken:
Slim: Boy, you know it's snowin' and rainin' out chere . . . and I ain't got no shoes on my feet
Jelly: Well, some does, and some dos, but this snow and ice is gonna give your feet the blues
Slim: Well it's snowin' and rainin', I'm a long, long way from home
Well it's snowin' and rainin', I'm a long, long way from home
Now, it just seem like to me, all of my friends is gone
Jelly: Boy, you got plenty friends, but you don't do nothin' right
Boy, you got plenty friends, but you don't do nothin' right
You don't do nothin' but drink and gamble, and run around both day and night
Slim: I have had hard luck, and havin' hard luck all the time
I have had hard luck, and havin' hard luck all the time
So I come 'round to see, whoo-whoo Lord, will you let me have a dime
Jelly: No, not me, boy, I wouldn't let you have a dime
No, not me, boy, I wouldn't let you have a dime
Because you don't do nothin' but buy that old ten-cent wine
