The dry spell blues have fallen drive me from door to door
Dry spell blues have fallen drive me from door to door
The dry spell blues have put everybody on the killing flood

Now the people down south sure won't have no home
Now the people down south sure won't have no home
Because the dry spell have parched all this cotton and corn

Hard luck's on everybody and many people are blue
Hard luck's on everybody and many people are blue
Now besides the shower ain't got no help for you

Lord, I fold my arms and I walked away
Lord, I fold my arms and I walked away
Just like I tell you somebody's got to pay

Pork chops forty-five cents a pound cotton is only ten
Pork chops forty-five cents a pound cotton is only ten
I can't keep no woman no, no, nowhere I been

So dry old boll weevil turned up his toes and died
So dry old boll weevil turned up his toes and died
Now ain't nothing to do bootleg moonshine and ryeIt have been so dry you can make a powderhouse out of the world
Well, it have been so dry you can make a powderhouse out of the world
Then all the moneymen like a rattlesnake in his coil

I done throwed up my hands, Lord, and solemnly swore
I done throwed up my hands, Lord, and solemnly swore
There ain't no need of me changing towns, it's a drought everywhere I go

It's a dry old spell everywhere I been
Lord, it's a dry old spell everywhere I been
I believe to my soul this old world is about to end

Well I stood in my back yard, wrung my hands and screamed
I stood in my back yard, I wrung my hands and screamed
And I couldn't see nothing, couldn't see nothing green

Oh Lord have mercy if you please
Oh Lord have mercy if you please
Let your rain come down and give our poor hearts ease

These blues, these blues is worthwhile to be heard
Oh, these blues is worthwhile to be heard
For it's very likely bound to rain somewhere
