Nina Simone - Gimme A Pigfoot Lyrics
(1933) wesley "sox" wilsonUp in harlem on a saturday nightWere the highbrows get together, it's just to tightWe all gather at the harlem strutAnd what we do is tut tut tutOl' hannah brown, from way cross townKeeps drinking her liquor and she brings them downJust at the break of dayYou could hear old hannah sayI wanna pigfoot and a bottle of beerSend me daddy, cos i don't careI feel just like i wanna clownGive the piano player a drinkCause he brought me downHe just send me right off to sleepCheck all your razors and your gunsI'm gonna be arrested when the wagon comesI wanna pigfoot and a bottle of beerSend me cos i don't care oh noSend me cos i don't careI wanna pigfoot and a bottle of beerSend me daddy, cos i don't careI feel just like i wanna clownGive the piano player a drinkCause he brought me downHe's got rhythm when he stomps his feetHe moves me right off to sleepCheck all your razors check your gunsI'm gonna be arrested when the wagon comesI wanna pigfoot and a bottle of beerSend me cos i don't care oh noSend me cos i don't care
