《Inflation Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] Inflation Blues - B.B. King (雷利·金)

[00:00:47] Hey Mr. President

[00:00:50] All your congressmen, too

[00:00:53] You got me frustrated

[00:00:55] And I don't know what to do

[00:00:59] I'm trying to make a living

[00:01:01] I can't save a cent

[00:01:04] It takes all of my money

[00:01:06] Just to eat and pay my rent

[00:01:09] I got the blues

[00:01:13] Got those inflation blues

[00:01:20] You know, I'm not one

[00:01:22] Of those high brows

[00:01:24] I'm average Joe to you

[00:01:27] I came up eating cornbread

[00:01:29] Candied yams and chicken stew

[00:01:33] Now you take that paper dollar

[00:01:36] It's only that in name

[00:01:38] The way that buck has shrunk

[00:01:40] It's a lowdown dirty shame

[00:01:44] That's why I got the blues

[00:01:48] Got those inflation blues

[00:03:01] Mr. President Please cut the price of sugar

[00:03:05] I wanna make my coffee sweet

[00:03:08] I wanna smear some butter on my bread

[00:03:10] And I just got to have my meat

[00:03:14] When you start rationing

[00:03:16] You really played the game

[00:03:19] And things are going up

[00:03:20] And up and up and up

[00:03:22] And my check remains the same

[00:03:24] That's why I got the blues

[00:03:26] Got those inflation blues
