Lefty Frizzell - Saginaw, Michigan

There's No Food In This House

Sister says she's hungry (um) brother says he's hungry too (um)
If daddy don't get a job real soon, I don't know what we're gonna do
'Cause there's no food in this house there's no food in this house
My daddy's looking mighty worried (hm)
Since they cut off the credit at the store
I used to ask mum what's for supper now I don't ask anymore
'Cause there's no food in this house there's no food in this house

Daddy's been off from work now two months and a day
Mum she don't say nothing, but last night I heard her pray
Oh Lord, please do something, something mighty fast
For me and these babies are hungry, I don't know how long we can last
'Cause there's no food in this house, there's no food in this house

The people from the church came by last night and brought a big basket of food
I guess mama's prayers were answered, it's strange how the Lord does move
'Cause we got food in this house, now we got food in this house

Now when we say the blessings, we thank him for the food in this house
We thank him for the food in this house
We thank him for the food in this house
We thank him for the food in this house
