  cho: Oh, them beans, bacon and gravy,
       They almost drive me crazy,
       I eat them 'till I see them in my dreams.
       When I wake up each morning
       And another day is dawning,
       I know I'll have another mess of beans.
  
                  Beans, Bacon and Gravy" as sung by Peggy Seeger, 1959; also DigTrad

(OK, it's thin; But it was this or Melanie's birthday)
