Folks I've got them hungry blues
And nothin' in this to lose
People tellin' me to choose
Between dyin' and lyin' and
   keep on cryin'

Tired of them hungry blues
Listen ain't you heard the news
There's another thing to choose
A brand new world
   clean and fine
Where nobody's hungry
And there's no color line
A thing like that's worth
   anybody dyin'
I ain't got a thing to lose
But them doggone hungry blues
- as recorded June15, 1939 (listen)
