I'm Hungry Songtext
von Willie Mabon

Life is bare, I see pork chops in the air
Starvation
Since my gal I love, ain′t joined no more
Conversation

You know, I wouldn't tell a lie
But I′m hungry all the time

It ain't what you think
I'm bred, Ma, to stick up me a bank
But I′m afraid to risk it
Or if some rich widder
Would walk up here right now, give poor Maybelle a biscuit


It profits me nothing to lie
I stays hungry all the time

Life is bare, I see food everywhere
It may seem funny
All things done gone up so high nowadays
Until it′s cheaper to eat money

You know, I wouldn't lie
But I′m hungry all the time
You know, I won't tell a lie
But I stays hungry all the time
I can′t tell no lie
I'm hungry all the time
