Give Me Cornbread When I’m Hungry lyrics
by Joan Baez
[Verse 1: Dirk Powell & Joan Baez]
Give me cornbread when I'm hungry
Corn whiskey when I'm dry
Pretty women all around me when I'm livin'
God and his angels when I die
[Verse 2: Marcus Mumford]
If I had listened to my mama
I would not be here today
Drinkin' down and gamblin'
Wastin' my whole life away
[Verse 3: Joan Baez]
Once I had plenty of money
And friends in this world all around
Now my pocketbook is empty
Not a friend in this world can be found
[Verse 4: Joan Baez & Marcus Mumford]
At the bottom of the bottle
The lurkin' demons dwell
They'll waste away your body
Send your soul to Hell
[Verse 5: Joan Baez & Marcus Mumford]
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
Dig a holе in the cold, cold ground
Dig a hole, dig a hole in thе meadow
And watch this old rounder go down
[Verse 1: All]
Give me cornbread when I'm hungry
Corn whiskey when I'm dry
Pretty women all around me while I'm livin'
And God and his angels when I die
