Bunion Stew

Lightnin’ Hopkins

[Verse 1]
Papa told Mama every time the ground cracks
Ol' Pa gets a ’tater
Ma said "Look around in here"
And there she stand with her medal
Shoot, you know it done me good
To see them old folks talkin' to each other
Because Ma said "I'll meet you in the soup"
"And we’ll be all messed-up together"
Now don't you know that was a mess that day?
I'm tellin' you
But I kinda, you know
Like the way they cook that soup, too
Yeah man, oh
They each called it "bunion stew"
Yeah, all that good stuff was in town then
I was young, you know
And I just be standin' there with my bowl
I didn't have no meal, but I had a bowl
Heh-heh-heh
Yeah, all that's good

[Verse 2]
So, I'll hit the old guitar a little bit
And you know they try to dance, you know
But they didn’t dance like we do now
She said "Pick up on the song a little bit"
And I’d do it, I'd knock on it
Yeah, and ol’ Pa is sure tryin' to swing it
And every time this
Make that round, we'd eat some stew
I didn't think they’d get around
I guess you know what there
They on way dancing

[Outro]
Yeah, they used to ball
