"Pawnshop Blues" lyrics - BROWNIE MCGHEE

Well, I'm walkin' down the street this mornin'
Hear someone call my name and I could not stop

Someone called me and I could not stop
Well, boys, you know Brownie was broke and hungry
On my way to that old pawnshop

Well, I went to the pawnshop, had my last suit in my hand
Yes, I went to the pawnshop
Had my last suit of clothes in my hand
I said, "Won't you give me a loan?
Try to help me, Mister Pawnshop Man"
Well, I went to the pawnshop
Went down to pawn my radio

Went down to pawn my radio
Well, the man said, "Brownie, you aint got a T. V.
We don't take radios in no more"
Kinda worried me a little bit

Well, I went to the pawnshop
'Cause the man had come and took my car
You know I had lost my job, man, that car-man took my car
Well, I'm gOin' to the pawnshop in the mornin'
See if I can pawn myoid guitar
Play it one time before you sell it, boy

I asked the pawnshop man
What was those three balls doin' on the wall
What was those three balls doin' on the wall
"Well, I bet you two to one, buddy
You won't get your stuff out of here at all"
