Raidin' Squad Blues
 

It's too late too late : too late too late too late
Here we are on our way to the holdover : and we cannot hesitate

Mmm : these boards is killing me
Say I know I am a criminal : but I always want to be free

Oh no : these raids is killing me
*See that woman* about it baby : Lord it's down in Tennessee

Mmm : these raids is killing me
I got the raiding squad blues : the holdover is killing poor me

When the raid began : the people began to squall
The sergeant said ain't no need a‑squalling : the captain said to bring you all

When I had money : my friends all ganged around
Now I'm in this raid : my friends have all thrown me down
