A letra:
Thirteen
days on a gig down South
But we had enough dope to keep us all
around
We had two girls dancin' to bring in a crowd
A sound man
to mix us, make us sound loud
Sometimes we make money, sometimes I
don't know
Thirteen days with five to go
Birmingham, Mobile, and up to Baton
Rouge
We're smokin' cigarettes and reefer, drinkin' coffee and
booze
We see the sun go down in Georgia, come up in New
Orleans
Now we got to know a waitress, I tried to get in her jeans
Sometimes we make money, sometimes I
don't know
Thirteen days with five to go
Migrant worker is the name of this
band
Well, they come to your town, come and see us if you
can
Yeah, we've been to California, we been to New York
Some
think we're good, to others it's a joke
Sometimes we make money, sometimes I
don't know
Thirteen days with five to go
Yeah, thirteen days
with five to go
Thirteen days with five to go
Thirteen
days with five to go
