Sticky Boiled Beans and biscuits made of stone A gallon pot of soup with nothing in it but the bone The sight'll make you sorry, the smell'll make you moan But I'm very very hungry so leave mine alone God made all the greens but Mama made them grey She swears they're not the same ones that we had the other day You have to clean your plate up if you want to be polite So what makes Grandma look so white?

Sticky Boiled Beans and biscuits made of stone A gallon pot of soup with nothing in it but the bone The sight'll make you crazy, the smell'll make you groan But I'm very very hungry so leave mine alone Mama tries her best now and you know she means so well That if I said what's on my mind, I'd wind up in Hell! Papa'd be the one to kill me, but you know something, I don't care Say, I wonder what they eat down there - no, I don't... Sticky Boiled Beans and biscuits made of stone A gallon pot of soup with nothing in it but the bone The sight'll make you sorry, the smell'll make you moan But I'm very very hungry so leave mine alone Sticky Boiled Beans and biscuits made of stone A gallon pot of soup with nothing in it but the bone The sight'll make you crazy, the smell'll make you groan But I'm very very hungry so leave mine alone Go and get your own Leave mine alone
