lyrics

FREELOADER BLUES

Well they call, they call me a freeloader ‘cause I aint’ never got a dime. But if you got the money sweet mama I really got the time. (ain't that somethin'!)

Well my baby called me one evening and said let’s go out and do the town.
When the bar tab showed up people Big Jeff could not be found (where'd he go man?)

Well I work all week for my pay, and I spend it all on myself.
But if you got a bottle of whiskey, sweet mama lay it on the shelf
(I'm sure a fool about whiskey!)

Now freeloadin’ ain’t no business and moochin’ ain’t no crime.
But if you share what’s yours baby, I’m sure gonna give you some of mine (it ain't much baby)

Now if your baby done quit you, and you wanna know what you done wrong. Just listen up you freeloaders while I sing this song
( you better pay attention)

Now I woke up, woke up this morning, with freeloadin’ on my mind
I didn’t have me no meal ticket woman what would show me a good time. (man, I ain't got nobody)
