Lightnin' Hopkins - No Education Lyrics
Got not education, I'm just a fool in your townNo education, I'm just another fool in townYes first day I went to school, yes that sucker burn it downI can't read, can't even write my nameI can't read, can't even write my nameYes but that ain't none o' your fault, Po' Lightnin' is to blameMama done all she could, yes she did boy, yes to send this black man to schoolYes she done all she could, send this black boy to schoolYeah the first day I went there do you know, boy I broke my teacher's ruleYes... I broke itAin't it a shame, ain't it a shame, way things happened to meAin't it a shame, way things happened to meI went to school only one day and I didn't, learn my ABC'sBad luck happened to me!
