Young Man’s Blues Songtext
von Mose Allison

Oh well a young man ain′t got nothin' in the world these days
I said a young man ain′t got nothin' in the world these days

You know in the old days
When a young man was a strong man
All the people they'd step 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 nothin′ in the world these days
I said nothing

Everybody knows that a young man ain't got nothin′
Everybody!
Everybody knows that a young man ain't got nothin′
He got nothin'
Nothin'

Take it easy on the young man
They ain′t got nothin′ in the world these days
I said they ain't got nothin′!
They got sweet fuck-all!
