Lyrics Levon Helm – Summertime Blues

I’m a-gonna raise a fuss, I’m a-gonna raise a holler
About workin’ every summer just to try to make a dollar
Every time I call my baby to try to get a date
My boss says; «No dice, son, you gotta work late»

My mama papa told me; «Boy, you gotta make some money
If you wanna use the car to go a-ridin’ next Sunday»
Well, I didn’t go to work I told the boss I was sick
He said; «I can’t help you, ’cause you didn’t get a lick»
Sometimes I wonder what I’m-a gonna do
There ain’t no cure for the summertime blues

I’m a taking two weeks gonna have a fine vacation
And taking all of my problem to the United Nations
You know I called up my congressman and he said, quote:
«I’d like to help you, boy, but you’re too dumb to vote»
Sometimes I wonder what I’m-a gonna do
There ain’t no cure for the summertime blues
