THINGS ABOUT COMIN’ MY WAY
Trad. folk song
Ruth Brown
Key: G

  3   -4  4  -5  -5   6   -5  3   -4
Ain't got no mon-ey can't buy no grub.
 -5   -5   5  -3* 3
Back-bone and nav-el
-5 -5  -5  -55 -3* 3
Do-in' the bel-ly rub.
-1  2   3  -3* 3   -3*  3    -1
And af-ter all my hard trav-'lin’
 -3*   3 -3*   3  -1  3   3
Things a-bout com-in' my way.

The pot was empty the cupboard bare
I said," Mama what's goin' on here?"
And af-ter all my hard trav-'lin’
Things about com-in' my way.

The rent was due the light was out
I said, "Mama what's it all about."
And af-ter all my hard trav-'lin’
Things about com-in' my way.

Sister was sick
The doctor couldn't come
Cause we couldn't pay him
The proper sum
And af-ter all my hard trav-'lin’
Things about com-in' my way.
