G
Everybody workin' in this town,
and it's worth me night and day
C
Everybody workin' in this town,
G
and it's worryin' me night and day
D
G
D
I said me and my wreckin' crew,
G
ain't that work for the W .P .A.
The landlord come this morning,
he knocked upon my door,
asked me was I going to
pay my rent no more.
He said you'll have to move
if you can't pay.
Then he turned
and he walked slowly away.
C
And I know I'll have to try to find
G
D
G
me some place to stay.
So I went to the relief station,
I didn't have a cent, they said,
D
Stim, while you're stayin'
G
you don't have to pay no rent,
then when I got back home,
they was tackin' a sign on my door,
said this old house is condemned
C
and you can't live here no more,
then a notion struck me,
G
I'd better be on my way.
D
I was big on tearin' my house down,
G
yeah, that crew from the WPA.
Well, I started out the next morning,
I put a lock on my door
so I wouldn't move,
but I haven't got no place to go.
The real estate people,
they done got sold.
They don't rent, you know,
rarely twice, no more.
C
And I know then,
G
I have to walk the streets night and day.
D
I said, going to tear my house down.
G

G
Hear that crew from the WPA.
I know it shouldn't struck me
to stay on a day or two,
but I soon found out that
that wouldn't do.
Early the next morning,
I was laying in my bed.
I hear the mighty rumbling
and bricks come tumbling on my head.
C
I started ducking and dodging,
G
C

trying to get out of the way.

yeah, that crew from that dirty pier.
