Blind Boy Fuller lyrics

Hungry Calf Blues 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
