Jimmy Buckley - Summertime Blues lyrics

[Jimmy Buckley - Summertime Blues lyrics]

Well, I'm a gonna raise a fuss
I'm a gonna raise a holler
I've been working all summer just to
Try and earn a dollar
Well, I went to the boss, said I got a date
The boss said "No Dice, son
You gotta work late"
Sometimes I wonder, what am I gonna do
There ain't no cure for the summertime blues
Well, my mom and poppa told me
"Son you gotta earn some money
If you want to use the car
To go out next Sunday"
Well, I didn't go to work
I told the boss I was sick
He said "You can't use the car
'cause you didn't work a lick"
Sometimes I wonder, what am I gonna do
There ain't no cure for the summertime blues
Gonna take two weeks
Gonna have a fine vacation
Gonna take my problems to the United Nations
Well, I went to my congressman, he said
Quote "I'd like to help you son but
You're too young to vote"
Sometimes I wonder, what am I gonna do
There ain't no cure for the summertime blues
