My hitch was up Monday
Not a dog soljer nor more
soljer no more.
They give me all that money
So much my pockets is sore
pockets is sore.
More dough than I can use
Re-Enlistment Blues
oh
them blues.
Took my gelt to town Tuesday
Found me a big double bed
big double bed.
I'll find a job tomorrow
Tonight I'll maybe be dead
maybe be dead.
Ain't no time to lose
Re-Enlistment Blues
oh
them blues.
Hit the bars Wednesday
Friends put me up on a throne
(way) up on a throne.
Found a Chinese baby
She wouldn't leave me alone
leave me alone.
Did I give her a bruise
Re-Enlistment Blues
oh
them blues.
I woke up on Thursday
The walls was movin'
I swear
movin' I swear.
I reach'd down in my trousers
AII my pockets was bare
nothin' was there.
I'll really blew my fuse
Re-Enlistment Blues
oh
them blues.
Hit the bar again Friday
Ask'd for a free glass of beer
free glass of beer.
Bar man he don't know me
He just say no credit here
no credit here.
What I done then ain't news
Re-Enlistment Blues
oh
them blues.
