Little Birdie
I’m so pleased it’s on YouTube now. I love getting to watch Pete play this song. It is a big favorite of mine. I wrote a bit about it a couple of years ago. Rosco Holcomb’s version is also pretty awesome.

PODCASTSFolks 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
