Starvation Blues
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Starvation in my kitchen : rent sign's on my door
And if my luck don't change : I can't stay at my home no more
And I got up this morning : just about the dawn of day
Mean I ain't got no job : I ain't got no place to stay
Lord I walked to a store : I ain't got a dime
When I asked for a darn neckbone : the clerk don't pay me no mind
Lord Lord : mama some old rainy day
Mean my luck going to change : and I going to be treated this a‑way
