BAD HOUSING BLUES (Josh White) I woke up this morning, rain water in my bed. (2x) You know, my roof was leaking, Lord, leaking on my head. Now there ain't no reason I should live this way. (2x) I done lost my job. Can't even get on the WPA. Lord, I wonder when I'll hear good news. (2x) 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. (2x) Better wipe out these slums. Been this way since I was born. Recorded by Josh White in 1941. Included in the anthology, "Songs for Political Action," 1996 @blues filename[ BADHOUSB XX 8note Sheet
