Gimme a Pigfoot (And a Bottle of Beer) — текст песни (Nina Simone)

(1933) Wesley Sox Wilson

Up in Harlem on a Saturday night
Were the highbrows get together, it`s just to tight
We all gather at the Harlem Strut
And what we do is tut tut tut

Ol` Hannah Brown, from way cross town
Keeps drinking her liquor and she brings them down
Just at the break of day
You could hear old Hannah say

I wanna pigfoot and a bottle of beer
Send me daddy, cos I don`t care
I feel just like I wanna clown
Give the piano player a drink
Cause he brought me down

He just send me right off to sleep
Check all your razors and your guns
I`m gonna be arrested when the wagon comes

I wanna pigfoot and a bottle of beer
Send me cos I don`t care oh no
Send me cos I don`t care

I wanna pigfoot and a bottle of beer
Send me daddy, cos I don`t care
I feel just like I wanna clown
Give the piano player a drink
Cause he brought me down

He`s got rhythm when he stomps his feet
He moves me right off to sleep
Check all your razors check your guns
I`m gonna be arrested when the wagon comes

I wanna pigfoot and a bottle of beer
Send me cos I don`t care oh no
Send me cos I don`t care
