Ev'ry Monday mo'nin 

People, the insurance man knockin' on my do'

He said, 'Yeah, but you haven't paid yo' insurance 

In two or three week' 

Said, 'Sonny Boy, an your insurance have gon' down' 

He said, 'But you haven't paid yo' insurance 

In two or three week' 

He said, 'And your insurance have gone down' 

He said, If you don't pays by next Wednesday 

I reckon I'll have to let your insurance drop, now' 

 

I said, 'Insurance man please don't turn me out' 

Lord, an I ain't got nobody to bury me 

'Now insurance man, please don't turn me out' 

I haven't got nobody to bury me' 

Well now an I say, 'If you won't bury me 

They'll throw my body in the deep blue sea'

I'll tell you, you know how times is now-a-day 

Can't no one man find no job 

I'll say, 'You know how times is now-a-day 

Can't no one man find no job' 

I'll say 'I can't even take care of my wife an baby 

An I might have to let my family starve 

 

I said, 'Please give me two mo' weeks 

Insurance man please do that for me' 

I said, 'Now please give me two mo' weeks 

Insurance man please do that for me' 

Well I say, 'I don't live up north 

My home is back down in Tennessee.'
