Roast beef again?
Boys, it's Thanksgiving
You best be thankful you got meat to get tired of
Folk 'round here poor as Job's turkey (Turkey)
Barely eking by
Gotta take pill to get out of bed in the morning
They so tired
Kids so hungry they eat dirt
Down by the junkyard
Well, that dirt's good, Ma
It's true, old folks say it's good for you
Kill a tummy ache too
I better never catch none of you eating that dirt hard as I work
Ain't I taken good care of you?
Kept you fed with you daddy gone too
Yes, ma'am
Even my brother sending his boy, Chester, to stay a spell
'Cause wе got more
Chester's comin', Chеster's comin'
Who's Chester?
He's your cousin
It's been quite a while, but I'm sure you'll know him when you see him
What about Daddy? Aren't we ever going home?
This is our home now thanks to Uncle Paul
We got each other
Ain't that enough to give thanks for?
Dear Lord, thank you for this food
And for our family
For Uncle Paul who shared his home
And for my boys, healthy and growing
The fertile earth that give us food
My handsome face
My long legs that help me jump and shoot
The cattle truck that turned the cows loose
My big old feet, I'm gon' be tall
Mama, who I love most of all
Charles, baby, mama's boy
All you boys thank God for your mama
Without her, where you be?
Thank God for Mama
Five healthy boys, who could be lonely in a house full of noise?
Who could be lonely in a house full of noise?
Why am I lonely in a house full of noise?
God, is it a sin to be thankful, yet wanting?
Is it a sin to be thankful and wanting more?
Amen
