Lyrics:

I woke up this morning, rain water in my bed
I woke up this morning, rain water in my bed
You know, my roof was leaking, Lord, leaking on my head

Now there ain't no reason I should live this way
Now there ain't no reason I should live this way
I done lost my job. Can't even get on the WPA

Lord, I wonder when I'll hear good news
Lord, I wonder when I'll hear good news
Right now I'm gonna tell you how I got them bad housing blues

I'm goin' to the Capitol, goin' to the White House lawn
I'm goin' to the Capitol, goin' to the White House lawn
Better wipe out these slums. Been this way since I was born
