Well my daddy was a hard working man And he rambled from town to town I'm going to be a ramblin' boy Ain't never going to settle down Beefsteaks when I'm hungry Something tall and cool when I'm dry Give me greenbacks when the times are hard Sweet heaven when I die Well they locked me in the jailhouse My friends all passed me by Nobody came round to see bout me And I can't help but wonder why Beefsteaks when I'm hungry Something tall and cool when I'm dry Give me greenbacks when the times are hard Sweet heaven when I die Honey hold me when I'm sad and blue Honey cheer me if I cry All I really wanted was someone to love me till the day I die Beefsteaks when I'm hungry Something tall and cool when I'm dry Give me greenbacks when the times are hard Sweet heaven when I die
