Blind Boy Fuller Hungry Calf Blues Lyrics

Hungry Calf Blues 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



Mmmmmmmm

  Just won't let me rest

Mmmmmmmm

  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
