Young Man's Blues
Mose Allison
Well a young man ain't got nothing in the world these days.
I said a young man ain't got nothing in the world these days.
You know in the old days,
When a young man was a strong man.
All the people they stepped back,
When a young man walked by.
But you know now days it's the old man he's got all the money,
And a young man ain't got nothing in the world these days,
Ain't got, ain't got nothin'.
In the old days everybody stepped back,
When a young man walked by.
They stepped back,
They stepped back.
Everybody stepped back,
When a young man walked by.
I believe if you're the young man,
You ain't got nothin' in the world these days.
They ain't got nothin'.
