Lyrics Inflation Blues - B.B. King
Hey
Mr.
President
All
your
congressmen,
too
You
got
me
frustrated
And
I
don't
know
what
to
do
I'm
trying
to
make
a
living
I
can't
save
a
cent
It
takes
all
of
my
money
Just
to
eat
and
pay
my
rent
I
got
the
blues
Got
those
inflation
blues
You
know,
I'm
not
one
Of
those
high
brows
I'm
average
Joe
to
you
I
came
up
eating
cornbread
Candied
yams
and
chicken
stew
Now
you
take
that
paper
dollar
It's
only
that
in
name
The
way
that
buck
has
shrunk
It's
a
lowdown
dirty
shame
That's
why
I
got
the
blues
Got
those
inflation
blues
Mr.
President
Please
cut
the
price
of
sugar
I
wanna
make
my
coffee
sweet
I
wanna
smear
some
butter
on
my
bread
And
I
just
got
to
have
my
meat
When
you
start
rationing
You
really
played
the
game
And
things
are
going
up
And
up
and
up
and
up
And
my
check
remains
the
same
That's
why
I
got
the
blues
Got
those
inflation
blues
