Young Man Blues
Mose Allison
Well, the young man
Ain't got nothing in the world these days
I said the young man
Ain't got nothing in the world these days
Well, you know in the old days
When the young man was a strong man
All the people, they stayed back
When the young man walked by
But you know nowadays is the old man
Who's got all the money
And the young man
Ain't got nothing in the world these days
Ain't got nothing
In the old days
Everybody stayed back when the young man walked by
They stayed.. back!
They stayed.. back!
They stayed.. back!
Nothing is if you're the young man
They ain't got nothing in the world these days, I said
They ain't got nothing
