Big Bill Broonzy — Starvation Blues lyrics

Lyrics

Starvation in my kitchen
Rent sign’s on my door
And if my luck don’t change
I can’t stay at my home no more
And I got up this morning
Just about the dawn of day
Mean I ain’t got no job
I ain’t got no place to stay
Lord I walked to a store
I ain’t got a dime
When I asked for a darn neckbone
The clerk don’t pay me no mind
Lord Lord
Mama some old rainy day
Mean my luck going to change
And I going to be treated this a‑way
