Johnny "Guitar" Watson - Ain't That a Bitch [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

I'm working forty hours
Six long days
And I'm highly embarrassed
Every time I get my pay

And they working everybody
Lord, they working poor folks to death
And when you pay your rent and your car notes
You ain't got a damn thing left

Ain't that a bitch, yes it is
Somebody doing something slick, there they are
It's got me wondering which is which
Mighty as well go out of town and dig a ditch

Ain't that a bitch, yes it is
Now ain't that a bitch

Lemme tell you about my qualifications

I program computers
I know accounting and psychology
I took a course in business
And I can speak a little Japanese, fox on

Gotta work two years
To get one week off with pay
And when I'm on my job
I better watch every word I say

Ain't that a bitch, oh boy
Somebody doing something slick, downtown
It's got me wondering which is which
Mighty well, go out of town and dig a ditch

Ain't that a bitch, it's way, way to cold
Ain't that a bitch

Make me wanna holler, Lord, Lord
Lord, have mercy to see
Won't somebody please help me to see land. Lord
I want to play the guitar, come here guitar

Somebody doing something silly

Now listen to this

Stop at the supermarket
To get myself something to eat
And when I look at the prices
They knock me off of my feet

I was in the baloney section
And I had to take myself a close look
Now [Abdule Jabar] couldn't have made these prices
With a sky hook

Ain't that a bitch, yes, it is
Somebody doing something slick, yeah they are
It's got me wondering which is which
Might as well go out of town and dig a ditch

Ain't that a bitch, ain't that a bitch

Surely there's something slick going on
Surely there's something slick
Surely there's something slick going on
Surely there's something slick, ain't that a

Surely there's something slick going on
Surely there's something slick
Surely there's something slick going on
Somebody's show slick, ain't that a

Surely there's something slick going on
Surely there's something slick
Surely there's something slick going on
Somebody's showing slick

Surely there's something slick going on
Surely there's something slick
Surely there's something slick going on
Surely there's something slick
