Lyrics There's No Food in This House - Lefty Frizzell

There's No Food in This House

Sister says she’s hungry
Brother says he’s hungry too
If daddy don’t get a job real soon
I don’t know what we’re gonna do
Cause there’s no food in this house
There’s no food in this house
My daddy’s looking mighty worried
Since they cut off the credit at the store
I used to ask mom what’s for supper
Now I don’t ask anymore
Daddy’s been off from work now two months and a day
Mama she don’t say nothing
But last night I heard her pray
Oh Lord please do something something mighty fast
Me and these babies are hungry
I don’t know how long we can last
The people from the church came by last night
And brought a big basket of food
I guess mama’s prayers were answered
It’s strange how the Lord does move
Cause we got food in this house
Now we got food in this house
Now when we say the blessings
We thank him for the food in this house
