I Don’t Want No Hungry Woman Lyrics by Floyd Council

Carolina Blues 1937-1947

1937

Lord, I can't see how these hungry women sleep
Lord, I can't see how these hungry women sleep
Walk the streets at night like a police on his beat
[They just?] stand on a corner 'til the street get soaking wet
Just stand on a corner 'til the street get soaking wet
Mister if you ain't got a nickle, please give me a cigarette
Now I'm going down in Tin Pan Alley and get drunk as I can be
Yeah, get drunk as I can be
I don't want no hungry woman to lay her hands on me
I done spoke to the welfare, wrote to the govеrnment too
I done spoke to thе welfare, wrote to the government too
And I asked them to help me get my woman a pair of shoes
Well, the welfare didn't answer; government didn't pay me no mind
Yea, the welfare didn't answer; woah, government didn't pay me no mind
Big Floyd if you think we gonna help you, well you better change your mind
