Beans, Bacon & Gravy
I was born long ago In the eighteen ninety one And I've seen many a panic I will own
I've been hungry, I've been cold And now I'm growing old But there worst I've seen is nineteen thirty one
Oh, those beans, bacon and gravy They almost drive me crazy I eat them 'til I see them in my dreams (My dreams)
When I wake up in the morning And another day is dawning Then I know I'll have another Mess of beans
We all congregate each morning At the county barn at dawning And everyone is happy So it seems
But when our work is done We file in one by one And thank the Lord for One more mess of beans
Oh, those beans, bacon and gravy They almost drive me crazy I eat them 'til I see them in my dreams (My dreams)
When I wake up in the morning And another day is dawning Then I know I'll have another Mess of beans
We have Hooverized on butter Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And mfor lik we've only water And I haven't seen a steak In many a day
As for pies, cakes and jellies We substitute sow-bellies For which we work the county road Each day
Oh, those beans, bacon and gravy They almost drive me crazy I eat them 'til I see them in my dreams (My dreams)
When I wake up in the morning And another day is dawning Then I know I'll have another Mess of beans
If there ever comes a time When I have more than a dime They will have to put me under Lock and key
For they've kept me broke so long I can only sing this song Of workers And their misery
Oh, those beans, bacon and gravy They almost drive me crazy I eat them 'til I see them in my dreams (My dreams)
When I wake up in the morning And another day is dawning Then I know I'll have another Mess of beans
