Classic Poem

Well I woke up this mornin'
Half past four
They had a big crowd
At the charity store

'Cause they gettin' 'em stamps
Yes, they gettin' 'em stamps
Yes, they gettin' 'em stamps
That the gov'ment givin' away

Well I'm a country man
Never go to town
The women in Chicago
Tryin' to jive me 'round

'Cause they gettin' 'em stamps
Yes, they gettin' 'em stamps
Yes, they gettin' 'em stamps
That the gov'ment givin' away

(Yeh)

Well if you ever in Chicago
And the times get hard
Take a little walk
Out on South Park

'Cause they gettin' 'em stamps
Yes, they gettin' 'em stamps
Yes, they gettin' 'em stamps
That the gov'ment givin' away

Well the womens up here
Play me to be a fool
Think I'm the boy
Ain't never been to school

'Cause they gettin' 'em stamps
Yes, they gettin' 'em stamps
Yes, they gettin' 'em stamps
That the gov'ment givin' away

(Yeh)

When I got here
I had good luck
The woman I love
She keep me up

'Cause she gettin' 'em stamps
Yes, she gettin' 'em stamps
Yes, she gettin' 'em stamps
That the gov'ment givin' away

Well I woke up this mornin'
Half past two
The streets was crowded
And they couldn't get through

'Cause they gettin' 'em stamps
Yes, they gettin' 'em stamps
Yes, they gettin' 'em stamps
That the gov'ment givin' away

(Yeh
Play it a long time now boy)
