Ain’t No Bread In The Breadbox Lyrics by Roy Rogers (Blues), Norton Buffalo

R & B

0

[Chorus]
There ain't no bread in the breadbox
'Cause we ain't got no dough
And it seems like we ain't got enough time
To go foolin' 'round no more
You've been working so hard for oh so long
What do you got to show?
Open up your eyes, little darling
Let's pack up the things and go
Open up your eyes, little darling
I don't wanna live here no more
Open up your eyes, little darling
We've been here for far too long
Open up your eyes, little darling
It's time to move along
[Verse 1]
It was late into December
On a cold winter day
I'd just finished bringing wood into the kitchen
When I heard my Amanda say
She said, "Elijah, you'd better look around
Things ain't like they used to be
The times been hard for you and me
Wake up, daddy, it's time to shake things down"
[Chorus]
Because there ain't no bread in the breadbox
'Cause we ain't got no dough
And it seems like we ain't got enough time
To go foolin' 'round no more
You've been working so hard for oh so long
What do you got to show?
Open up your eyes. little darling
Let's pack up the things and go
Open up your eyes, little darling
I don't wanna live here no more
Open up your eyes, little darling
We've been here for far too long
Open up your eyes, little darling
It's time to move along
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
There ain't no bread in the breadbox
'Cause we ain't got no dough
And it seems like we ain't got enough time
To go foolin' 'round no more
You've been working so hard for oh so long
What do you got to show?
Open up your eyes, little darling
Let's pack up the things and go
Open up your eyes, little darling
I don't wanna live here no more
Open up your eyes, little darling
We've been here for far too long
Open up your eyes, little darling
It's time to move along (What you say?)
I said there ain't no bread in the breadbox
'Cause we ain't got no dough
And it seems like we ain't got enough time
To go foolin' 'round no more
You've been working so hard for oh so long
What do you got to show?
Open up your eyes, little darling
Let's pack up the things and go
Open up your eyes, little darling
I don't wanna live here no more
Open up your eyes, little darling
We've been here for far too long
Open up your eyes, little darling
It's time to move along
