Ground

The down on the ground blues
 Rain been beating down
 No sun for the crop to be grown
 Going to be late to pay the loan
 My little girl; she sick, she moan
 My face has only one look, dusty wind blown

The down on the ground blues
 Some days, it's like I die
 It be so bad, I close my good eye
 Wait for somebody to say
 Come here, this is the way
 To find a life that is not a lie

The down on the ground blues
 Worked around and scarred up some
 Always moving, still on the bum
 All kinds of regulation and low
 Got troubles, biggest mess you ever saw
 Wish all this misery was finally done

The down on the ground blues.
