YOUNG MAN BLUES
(Mose Allison)

Mose Allison
The Who


Uh, 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
Well you know in the old days
When a young man was a strong man
All the people the stepped back
When a young man walked by
But you know nowadays 
It's the old man, he's got all the money
And a young man, ain't got nothing in the world these days, I say
They ain't got nothing
They got nothing, pissed off
Ooh yeah
Ahh, yeah
Get it!
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that a young man ain't got nothin
Oooh yeah
Ohhh, the young man
Get it
Everybody knows, everybody knows
In the old days
Everybody stepped back
When a young man walked, walked by
They stepped back
They stepped back
They stepped back
Nowadays if you're the young man
You ain't got nothing in the world these days, I said
You ain't got nothing
They got sweet fuck all
