Strike Blues - John Lee Hooker

Oh Lord, oh Lord, baby

What in the world gonna become of me?

I don’t know, I don’t know, baby

Lord, Lord, Lord

What in the world gonna 'come of me?

These hard times, hard times, baby

'Bout to get the best of me

You know Paul Chrysler, God knows

Been under for ninety days already

Was one thing, now people

Lord, I sure can’t understand at all

What in the world gonna become of me?

This doggone strike soon

It’s gon' become over, people

God knows my life can’t last any longer

I go to the welfare

This is what the welfare said

‽Look at here now, man, one type-a, a-beans

And one can-a tripeâ€, I said, ‽Noâ€

God know that will never do

If Paul Chrysler will soon end this strike

God knows, God knows

I don’t know what I’m gonna do
