Subject: RE: Lyr Req: songs about hunger (for kids)
Well, there's Little Jimmy Dickens' TAKE AN OLD COLD 'TATER AND WAIT.
And there's Lead belly's TAKE THIS HAMMER, which (according to the DT) contains the verse:They wanna feed me cornbread and molasses, (3x)
But I got my pride, well, I got my pride.
However, that's not the way I remember it. I remember it more like:I don't want no corn bread and molasses (3x)
It hurts my pride, it hurts my pride.
