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 thing like that's worth
anybody dyin'
I ain't got a thing to lose
But them doggone hungry blues
