I'm Gonna Feed You Now

(album: The Thin Man From West Plains - 1965)

Well, I finally got a job last Monday I hadn't worked in a month to Sunday
And everything was getting hungry but everything's all right now

So gather round all you children gather round all you children
Gather round all you children 'cause I'm a gonna feed you now

Well, my horses're getting skinny I'd've fed 'em if I hadn't any
But I didn't even have a penny but I'm a gonna feed 'em now

'Cause I got a job last Monday I hadn't worked in a month to Sunday
And everything was getting hungry but everything's all right now

Well, the hogs started to grunting and the old dogs started hunting
And boy that's really something and I'm a gonna feed 'em now

So gather round all you children gather round all you children
Gather round all you children 'cause I'm a gonna feed you now

Well, the hens they all stopped laying and the baby chicks started to straying
And the old rooster's even a praying but I'm a gonna feed 'em now

'Cause I got a job last Monday I hadn't worked in a month to Sunday
And everything was getting hungry but everything's all right now

So gather round all you children gather round all you children
Gather round all you children 'cause I'm a gonna feed you now
