If I Hock My Guitar(original) |
I came up from Mississippi |
With a guitar full of songs |
Thought I was really something |
Maybe I was wrong |
Got to make some money |
Got to pay my dues |
'Cause if I hock my guitar |
How the hell am I supposed to play the blues? |
Filled out an application |
For sweeping up the streets |
They said I didn’t qualify |
I couldn’t disagree |
I got to find something |
Something I can use |
If I hock my guitar |
Aw, hell, man |
I can do without the honey or the sugar for my tea |
These days I can do without a lot of things |
My shark-skin suit and my Stacy Adams shoes |
All I really want to do is play my blues |
Had my last can of tuna |
With some cold green beans |
Not all that appetizing |
But a man’s got to eat |
Up against the wall |
Nothing left to lose |
If I hock my guitar |
How the hell am I supposed play the blues? |
(traducción) |
Vine desde Mississippi |
Con una guitarra llena de canciones |
Pensé que era realmente algo |
Tal vez estaba equivocado |
Tengo que ganar algo de dinero |
Tengo que pagar mis cuotas |
Porque si empuño mi guitarra |
¿Cómo diablos se supone que voy a tocar blues? |
Rellenó una solicitud |
Por barrer las calles |
Dijeron que no calificaba |
no podría estar en desacuerdo |
tengo que encontrar algo |
Algo que pueda usar |
Si empuño mi guitarra |
Oh, diablos, hombre |
Puedo prescindir de la miel o el azúcar para mi té |
En estos días puedo prescindir de muchas cosas |
Mi traje de piel de tiburón y mis zapatos Stacy Adams |
Todo lo que realmente quiero hacer es tocar mi blues |
Tenía mi última lata de atún |
Con unas judías verdes frías |
No es tan apetitoso |
Pero un hombre tiene que comer |
Contra la pared |
Nada que perder |
Si empuño mi guitarra |
¿Cómo diablos se supone que voy a tocar el blues? |
