Bessie Smith - Gimme A Pigfoot Lyrics
"Up in Harlem every Saturday nightWhen the highbrows get together its just so rightThey all congregate at an all night hopAnd what they do is Oo Bop Bee DapOh Hannah Brown from way cross townGets full of coin and starts breaking 'em downAnd at the break of dayYou can hear ol' Hannah say'Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer.Send me again.I don't care.I feel just like I wanna clown.Give the piano player a drink because he's bringing me down!He's gotta rhyme, yeah!When he stomps his feet.He sends me right off to sleep.Check all your razors and your guns.We gonna be arrested when the wagon comes.I wanna pigfoot and a bottle of beer.Send me cause I don't care.Blame me cause I don't care.Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer.Send me again, I don't care.I feel just like I wanna clown.Give the piano player a drink because he's bringing me down.He's got rhyme, Yeah, when he stomps his feet.He sends me right off to sleep.Check all your razors and your guns.Do the Shim-Sham Shimmy 'til the rising sun.Give me a reaper and a gang of gin.Play me cause I'm in my sin.Blame me cause I'm full of gin.'"
