Red Cross Store

Red Cross Store-Lonzie Thomas
Vestapol tuning

Me and my babe had a talk last night
You know, we talked about a hour
She's tryin' to get me to go to that Red Cross Store,
Get a sack of that Red Cross flour
I told her, "No, now babe, don't make me go."

Hey, I'm goin' out here on the corner, I was stoppin' at Hillary's Store
See, I walked uptown, thought I'd have a little fun
I thanked the boss, the folks hid and run
'Cause the Chief of Police took a great big gun, says,
"Come on, big boy, I got you some"
I told him, "Yes sir!, Captain, I don't want to go.
Hey, man, turn me loose, I was goin' to Hillary's Store!"

Workin' for the Red Cross three days in the week
Didn't want to give me nothin' but a little somethin' to eat
I told him, "No-unt-uh! Man, I ain't gon' work no more.
Hey, I go down here on the corner, I was stoppin' at Hillary's Store."

You know the Red Cross people promised, treat us right
Get a twenty-pound meal and one little can of tripe
I told him, "No sir, Captain, I ain't gon' work no more.
Hey, I was gwine here on the corner, I was stoppin' at Hillary's Store."

The Red Cross people promised to treat us mean (Ha ha)
T-wenty pound meat and one little pair of cornmeals
I told him, "No sir (ha), Captain, I ain't gon' work no more.
Hey, goin' out here on the corner, I was startin' to Hillary's Store."
(Huh, huh, huh)
