There's No Food in This House - Lefty Frizzell

Sister says she’s hungry

Brother says he’s hungry too

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

Since they cut off the credit at the store

I used to ask mom what’s for supper

Now I don’t ask anymore

Daddy’s been off from work now two months and a day

Mama she don’t say nothing

But last night I heard her pray

Oh Lord please do something something mighty fast

Me and these babies are hungry

I don’t know how long we can last

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
