Blind Boy Fuller — Hungry Calf Blues lyrics

Lyrics

Your calf is hungry mama, I believe he needs a suck
I say your calf is hungry mama, and I believe he needs
a suck
Yes your milk is turnin' blue, I believe he’s out of luck
Says I found out now mama, the reason why I can’t
satisfy you, save my soul
I said hey hey, can’t satisfy you, save my soul
Yes you’ve got a new cat, he’s sixteen years old
But I’m gonna save my jelly mama, gonna bring it right
home to you
I said hey hey, gonna bring it right home to you
You can’t find no young cat, roll jelly like this old
one do Says I got a new way of rollin' mama, I think it must
be best
I said hey hey, yes I think it must be best
Said these here North Carolina women. just won’t let
Blind Boy Fuller rest
Hmmmmm, just won’t let me rest
Hmmmmm, just won’t let me rest
Said I got the kind of lovin', yes Lord, I think it must be best
Said I roll jelly in the mornin' and I also roll at night
I said hey hey, I also roll at night
And I don’t stop rollin', till I know I rolled that
jelly just right
