Oh, that Fourth Street mess around Originated down in Memphis town Go down Fourth until you get to Vance, ask anybody about that brand new dance The gals will say you’re going my way it’s right here for you here’s your only chance Then ease down Vance until you get to Main Turn around, beat it back again It makes no difference where you were born, the jug band has got your water on While they’re playing that Fourth Street mess around Chorus: Somebody tell me, what makes this jug band drink? Somebody tell me, what makes this jug band drink? They get you whipping these blues, and they begin to think About that Fourth Street mess around Originated by that jug band from Memphis town Go down Fourth until you get to Vance, ask anybody about that brand new dance The gals will say You’re going my way, it’s right here for you, here’s your only chance Then ease down Vance until you get to Main Turn around, beat it back again Excuse us, stranger, for being bold this morn, but would you knock the jug band another drink of corn While we play that Fourth Street mess around Outro: Here we come all drunk again

When I was a rounder I stopped in New Orleans 'Cause I've had long days away from home I didn't know nobody that I seen I's walkin' along the street one day I didn't mean no harm The police is up and they seen me And they began to make their laws Ain't it hard, ain't it hard Just lookin' through the bars? The police looked an seen me And they began to make their laws They seen I was a stranger They soon got on my trail Soon they had me surrounded And taked me to the city jail Now, ain't it hard, ain't it hard Just lookin' through the bars? Soon they had me surrounded And taked me to the city jail When I got in jail, I Didn't know what to do There was no one I knew I could carry my troubles to Now, ain't it hard, ain't it hard Just lookin' through the bars? There was no one I knew I could carry my troubles to I invited you write my dear old mother It made her lonesome and blue Tell you needn't no worry Mother's comin' after you Now ain't it grand, ain't it grand? I don't see how she can stand She said, 'Son, you needn't t' worry Mother's comin' after you'.

Mes amis, je vous assure que le temps est bien dur, Il faut pas s´décourager ça va bien vite commencer : De l´ouvrage y va en avoir pour tout le monde cet hiver Il faut bien donner le temps au nouveau gouvernement Ça va venir puis ça va venir mais décourageons-nous pas Moi, j´ai toujours le coeur gai et j´continue à turluter On se plaint à Montréal, après tout on n´est pas mal. Dans la province de Québec, on mange notre pain bien sec. Y a pas d´ouvrage au Canada, y en a bien moins dans les États Essayez pas d´aller plus loin vous êtes certains de crever d´faim. Ça va venir puis ça va venir mais décourageons-nous pas Moi, j´ai toujours le coeur gai et j´continue à turluter Ça coûte cher de c´te temps ici, pour se nourrir à crédit : Faut pas que ça monte à la grocery, je me tape aussi les biscuits. Mais j´peux pas faire de l´extra, mon p´tit mari travaille pas À force de me priver d´manger, j´ai l´estomac ratatiné. Ça va venir puis ça va venir ne décourageons-nous pas Moi, j´ai toujours le coeur gai et j´continue à turluter Me voila mal emmanchée, j´ai des trous dans mes souliers, Mes talons sont tout d´travers et pis l´bout qui trousse en l´air. Le dessus est tout fendu, la doublure toute décousue, Mes orteils passent à travers c´est toujours mieux que pas en n´avoir. Ça va venir puis ça va venir ne décourageons-nous pas Moi, j´ai toujours le coeur gai et j´continue à turluter Le propriétaire qui m´a loué, il est bien mal emmanché Ma boîte à charbon est brûlée et puis j´ai cin´ vit´ de cassées. Ma lumière dis-connectée puis mon eau est pas payée Y ont pas besoin v´nir m´achaler, m´a les saprer en bas d´l´escalier Ça va venir puis ça va venir ne décourageons-nous pas Moi, j´ai toujours le coeur gai et j´continue à turluter

Well I walk down Broadway, turn down Peel Lookin' for that gal they call Lucille She's gone to Kansas City, yeah she's gone to Kansas City She's gone somewhere where they don't allow you. I wish I was a catfish, swimmin' in the sea Lot's a pretty women there to fish for me I'd go to Kansas City, yeah I'd go to Kansas City I'd go, honey, somewhere where they don't allow you! If you didn't like my peaches why'd you shake my tree? Get out my orchard, let my peaches be I'll go to Kansas City, I'm going to Kansas City I'm gone, honey, somewhere where they don't allow you Oh I feel like jumping from a tree to the ground Man I love don't want me around He's gone to Kansas city, gone to Kansas City He's gone, somewhere where they don't allow you I'll tell you something, yeah I'll tell you today Don't ever let that woman have her way She's gone to Kansas City, she's gone to Kansas City She's gone, honey, somewhere where they don't allow you!

Well life is a game you think I'm losing Spending my time singing and a boozing Here's something that you don't know Well you take nothing with you when you go I might look fifty by the age of thirty-five but at least I can say I am alive You spend your time just a chasin' that dime but honey, I ain't dead yet. And when did we become so old? Worrying til our little tiny hearts they grow... so cold Whoever said it first, yeah they said it best "Money can't buy you happiness" I know you've got all them bills to pay but there's gotta be a better way and I sold my hopes of security for a raggy ol' dress and some banjo keys You spend your time just a chasin' that dime You forget what it means to be free. And when did we become so old? Worrying, pulling our hair out, grinding our teeth Waiting for that day we finally feel safe... Well even a king with all the riches he's got could end up buried beneath a parking lot You leave the world just the way you came and I doubt anyone will know your name So you can keep on chasin' that money, honey But I ain't dead yet!

This World 03:27
This world has made me cold I ain't gettin' wiser I'm just gettin' old. I'm a naive girl, I was a naive girl Why did you wanna come and change my world? You're mean as hell You do what you do and you do it well, but you're mean as hell. Tell me what I can do to get through to you. I'm gonna get me a gun I swear to God I'm gonna shoot someone I should get me a gun And I'll be coming for you Lord only knows what I can do. This world has made me cold I ain't gettin' wiser I'm just gettin' old. This world has made me.

Oh parlez-nous à boire, non pas du marriage Toujours en regrettant, nos jolies temps passé Si que tu te maries avec une jolie fille, T'es dans les grands dangers, ça va te la voler. Si que tu te maries aves une vilaine fille, T'es dans les grands dangers, faudra tu fais ta vie avec. Si que tu te maries avec une fille bien pauvre, T'es dans les grands dangers, faudra travailler tout la vie. Si que tu te maries avec une fille qu'a de quoi, T'es dans les grands dangers, tu vas attraper des grandes reproches. Fameux, toi grand vaurien, qu'a tout gaspillé mon bien Fameux, toi grand vaurien, qu'a tout gaspillé mon bien.
