Relocation Blues
D A7
A folding cot, that's about my speed;
D
Some folding money is the thing I need;
D7 G
Fourteen kids and a hog to feed,
D A7 D
Got the relocation blues.
D A7
County welfare it will make you fat,
D
It will buy you a brand new Stetson hat,
D7 G
If you can prove you're a Democrat,
D A7 D
Got the relocation blues.
A7
I don't know, but I been told
D
That uptown factory is made out of gold;
D7 G
But I'm too dumb to work, too weak to roll,
D A7 D
Got those relocation blues.
A7
A factory hand he pays a union fee;
D
A farmer, he gets a great big subsidy;
D7 G
All a coal miner gets is sympathy,
D A7 D
Got the relocation blues.
