Miss-Meal Cramp Blues

Spencer Williams
Language: English




Lord, I'm broke and hungry, and my money's all gone
Lord, I'm broke and hungry, and my money's all gone
Wither in the stomach, I've got to travel on

All my crops a failure, couldn't raise a doggone thing
All my crops a failure, couldn't raise a doggone thing
I'm just like a beggar, hear these mournful blues I sing

If I see a pork chop, Lord, I b'lieve I'd pass away
If I see a pork chop, Lord, I b'lieve I'd pass away
I ain't had a square meal in many doggone days

I'm so broke and hungry, I could eat a kangaroo
I'm so broke and hungry, I could eat a kangaroo
I feel just like stealing, there's nothing else to do

Won't somebody help me, with a little bite to eat?
Won't somebody help me, with a little bite to eat?
Don't care what you give me, I'd eat even chicken feet

Standing on the roadside, a great big sign, it read
Standing on the roadside, a great big sign, it read
Say, "U-Needa Biscuit", because I was a-near drop dead

My body feels so weary, because I've got the miss-meal cramps
My body feels so weary, 'cause I've got the miss-meal cramps
Right now I could eat more than a whole carload of tramps
