[Verse 1]
[G][C][D][G][D][G]
[D]Eve[G]rybody's workin' in this town,
and it's worth me ninety.
Everybody's [C]workin' in this town,
and it's worth [G]me ninety.[D][G]
It's that mean [D]workin' crew,
[A]had to work for the
[D]WPA.[G]
Well, I've had a landlord come this morn[D]in',
[G]and he knocked on my door.
He asked me if I was going
to pay my rent no more.
He said you have to move
if you can't pay.
And then he turned and
he walked slowly away
So I'll have to [C]try
Find me some other place [G]to stay[D][G]
That house wreckin' [C]crew's com[D]in'
[A]From [D]their
[G]WPA
Well, [D]I went [G]to the release station
And I didn't have a cent
They said, stay on where you stand,
you don't have to pay no rent, so when I got back home,
[D]they was tak[G]in' a notice on the door,
[D]this [G]house is condemned, and you can't live here
no more.
So I know, [C]she unstruck me,
I'd better be on my [G]way.[D][G]
They're going to tear [D]my house down,
whew, that crew from the
[G]WPA.[D][C][G]
Well, when I went out next [D]morning, I [G]put a lock on my door,
[D]but tho[G]ugh I wouldn't move,
but I have no place to go, the real estate [D]people,
[G]they're all done [D]got so, [G]they don't
written nor relief plans no more so I [C]know how
to walk the streets night [G]and day[D][G]
because that [D]wrecking crew's
[Bm]coming[D]
[G]from [C]that
[G]WPA[D][G]
[D]Well, the notion [G]struck [D]me, I'd [G]try to stay a day or [D]two,
but [G]I soon found out [D]that [G]that
wouldn't do.
Well, the next morning, [D]while I was laying [G]in my [D]bed,
I [G]heard a mighty rumbling and bricks
come [D]coming down on [G]my head,
so I had to start [C]ducking and dodging [G]an [C]d be on [G]my way.[D][G]
They will stand [D]my house down on me,
whoo -hoo, that groove from that
