Lyrics
Hungry Calfs Blues (By Blind Boy Fuller)
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
