When The Welfare Turns Its Back On You Lyrics - Ice Pickin' - Albert Collins

Now what you gonna do, when the welfare turn it's back on you? 

Now what you gonna do-hoo-hoo-hoo, when the welfare turn it's back on you 

Now, you be standin' there stranded, there's ain't a thing that you can do 

Now you look all through your house, yes, you can't, find a piece of bread 

Now you look all through your hou-hou-house, yeah, you can't find a piece of bread 

Sometime you begin to wonder, if you be better off, better off, dead 

You go down to the welfare 

Give 'em one, two report 

Something they sellin' you 

Will surely get your goat 

If you tell 'em you sick 

You better have a bad cough 

'Cause if you don't 

They be ready to throw you off
