I'm hungry, mama, I'm hungry, just as hungry as I can be
If I don't get a piece of meat, guess it'll be the end of me
Tell me, mama, what are you gonna do?
If you don't get some points, mama, it's gonna be the end of me and you
I've had so much fish, mama, I don't know what to do
Give up some meat, mama, or else I'm through
It's too much for me, mama, it's too much for me
Don't you tell me, mama, what are you gonna do?
If you don't get some points, mama, it's gonna be the end of me and you
Cause I'm hungry and I'm tired from running round the town
I ain't got no points, mama, and the butcher done let me down
Hey!
Tell me, mama, what are you gonna do?
If you don't get some points, mama, it's gonna be the end of me and you
I went to Chicago to see the stockyards there
It was like Mother Herbert's cupboard all broken down in bed
Hey!
Tell me, mama, what are you gonna do?
If you don't get some points, mama, it's gonna be the end of me and you
I ain't got no points, mama, it's gonna be the end of me and you
I ain't got no points, mama, it's gonna be the end of me and you
