Ration Blues Lyrics - Louis Jordan

Baby baby baby, what's wrong with Uncle Sam? 

He's cut down on my sugar, now he's messin' with my ham 

I got the ration blues, blue as I can be 

Oh me, I've got those ration blues 

I got to live on forty ounces, of any kind of meat 

Those forty little ounces gotta last me all the week 

I got to cut down on my jelly 

It takes sugar to make it sweet 

I'm gonna steal all your jelly baby 

And rob you of your meat 

I got the ration blues, blue as I can be 

Oh me, I've got those ration blues

I like to wake up in the morning with my jelly by my side 

Since rationing started baby, you just take your stuff and hide 

They reduced my meat and sugar 

And rubber's disappearing fast 

You can't ride no more with poppa 

'Cause Uncle Sam wants my gas 

I got the ration blues, blue as I can be 

Oh me, I've got those ration blues
