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
