Al Duvall - Dry Belly Blues Lyrics

At a barber school you'll get a cheap cut
But a tattoo college you better keep shut
You'll get bad marks and you got 'em for life
Like a hardscrabble farm and a bedridden wife
A hardscrabble farm and a bedridden wife

Wishbone pie and leg of cramp
Ain't had a square meal since I licked a stamp
I'm thin and poor, but I suffer no lip
If I was Jesus, I'd have grabbed that whip
If I was Jesus, I'd have grabbed that whip

A swayback mule and an old blind cow
Sleepin' in the dusk in front of a plow
Up the creek and down in the mouth
The scarecrow packed up and headed south
The scarecrow packed up and headed south

Snakes and toads crawl out of the pump
When the silo's empty, climb it and jump
Georgie Porgie, gristle and horn
We pick 'em clean just as soon as they're born
Pick 'em clean just as soon as they're born

The old melungeon lives on a hill
His advice is "do what thou will"
Ain't nobody ever lends him a hand
So he pulls his beard at her pitiful band
Pulls his beard at her pitiful band
That's my tale, there's no more to tell
I saw you yawn, it's just as well
Go on home to your bacon and shows
And pay no mind to the dry belly blues
Pay no mind to the dry belly blues
