The Red Cross Store Blues Lyrics

I told her no
Baby you know I don′t wanna go
Yes and I ain't goin′ down to no Red Cross store
She come down, she said, "Daddy I'm
Gonna talk with you just a little while
Ain't you goin′ out and fight for your wife and child?"

I told her no
Baby you know I don′t wanna go
Yes and I ain't goin′ down to no Red Cross store

She come down here, and she shook my hand
She said, "Daddy won't you go down there and fight for me like a man?"

I told her no
Baby you know I don′t wanna go
Yes and I ain't goin′ down to no Red Cross store

She said, "The Red Cross people is treatin' mighty fine
They mixin' everything up with whiskey and wine"

I told her no
Baby you know I don′t wanna go
Yes and I ain′t goin' down to no Red Cross store

She come down here, talkin′ to me about the war
I told her, "Baby I ain't done nothin′ to go there for"

I told her no
Baby you know I don't wanna go
Yes and I ain′t goin' down to no Red Cross store

She come down here, she fell down on her knees
I said, "Baby you better look somewhere for your butter and cheese"

I told her no
Baby you know I don't wanna go
Yes and I ain′t goin′ down to no Red Cross store

She said, "Daddy I just come down here to tell you so
You better go runnin' down to that Red Cross store"

I told her no
Baby you know I don′t wanna go
Yes and I ain't goin′ down to no Red Cross store
