Buzzard Luck, it starts with : nothing in my pockets but the bottom, that's more then you can say of my shoes, speaking of the Blues, I've got them, Lord, that's all I can afford to lose...

Yeah that's it The Powder Blues Band !
As I recall it was a blue covered LP?
No further lyrics or chords ?

Hey badeye,
thx for the help: I got the lyrics already off google.
For those interested, here goes (still looking for chords, though!) :
Buzzard Luck

Nothin in my pockets but the bottoms
And that’s more than I can say for my shoes
Speakin of the blues I got ‘em
And that’s more than I can afford to lose
I can’t beg, borrow or steal a buck
Man that’s nothin but buzzard luck

Can’t get on relief ‘cause I’m traveling
I really have nowhere to go
My last pair of pants is unraveling
And I don’t know a soul who can sew
I got in a fight I was too weak to duck
Man that’s nothin but buzzard luck

Just like a buzzard flying high in the sky
I can’t kill nothin and nothin won’t die
Ain’t nothin boiling but the water in the pot
And it wouldn’t be boiling if the flames wasn’t hot

I left my little town in Texas
Spent three years in Illinois
When I got back I was disgusted
I had a month old baby boy
She took me t court the judge said you’re stuck
Man that’s nothin but buzzard luck.
