Rats and Roaches - Calvin Russell

Well I turned the key this mornin'

My old car wouldn’t do a thing

Yeh, I turned the key this mornin'

My old car didn’t do a thing

Must be some bad disconnection

Way down in the piston ring

Rats and roaches down in the kitchen

Won’t let me go to sleep at night

Rats and roaches down in the kitchen

Won’t let me go to sleep at night

I know damn well those rats and roaches

Eatin' up all my welfare beans and rice

Well it’s raining on me here

Stormin' on my deep blue sea

It’s rainin' on me here

Stormin' on my deep blue sea

And I got a brown-headed lady

Makin' a crazy fool out of me

Well I turned ???

radio car

It didn’t do a damn thing

Yeh, I turned the key this mornin

My old car didn’t do a darn damn thing

Must be some bad disconnection

Way down in my piston ring
