I Ain't Gonna Work For Mr Peabody No More.

Original song by me using a fairly generic blues tune and pattern.

Well, I [G] ain't gonna work for Mr. Peabody no more. ... (G7)
No, I [C] ain't gonna work for Mr. Peabody no more.....
He [D] works me like a dog and he
[C] cheats me at his company [G] store.... (D)

Well, I aint gonna dig Peabody coal no more. (x2)
He done laid me off and said I had to go. Harp

I'm broke and broke down and got to find a new job. X2
Cause' I ain't gonna work for Mister Peabody no more. Harp

Mr. Roosevelt, he's got him that New Deal. (X)
Get me a government job, make some money for real.

Whistle
verse one- 2 lines/ harp tag.

First of all, great job of capturing that authentic blues sound! Down to the singing playing and overall vibe! Feels like a trip back to the 20s. Nice look to the cbg.

Great original Unc. I have been busy this last week writing a couple of originals for my superbowl Chiefs. I have posted them on my FB.
