I came up from Mississippi with a guitar full of songs 
Thought I was really something maybe I was wrong 
Got to make some money, got to pay my dues 
Cause if I Hock my guitar how the hell am I supposed to play blues

Filled out an application for sweeping up the streets
They said I didn't qualify I couldn't disagree 
I've got to find something, something I can use 
If I hock my guitar how the hell am I supposed to play the blues 

I can do without the honey or the sugar for my tea 
These days I can do without a lot of things 
My shark skin suit and my Stacy Adams shoes
All I really want to do is play my blues 

INST

I had my last can of tuna with some cold green beans
Not all that appetizing but a man's got to eat
Up against the wall with nothing left to lose 
If I hock my guitar how the hell am I supposed play the blues
