Sam Collins - Pork Chop Blues lyrics

I went out west just about a year ago I've taken sick and I'm like to die Had the rheumatism all in my breast It's caused bruises all in my side I went to the doctor, doctor said "Boy, what's the matter with you?" That doctor looked around at me I said, "Oh, doctor, what I need?" That doctor shook his head and said "You need the pork chop poultice and the stew and beans To your stomach three times a day If you hadda been doin' it all the time You'd have been a healthy child today When a man gets sick and about to die Pop in my swell cafe and eat his chocolate pie You need a pork chop poultice, stew and beans To your stomach three times a day" Lord, some folks say that a preacher won't steal And I caught two in my cornfield One had a bushel and the other one had a peck They both had croaker sacks around their neck Pork chop poultice and the stew and beans To your stomack three times a day "Needs a pork chop poultice and the stew and beans To your stomach three times a day If you hadda been doin' it all the time You'd have been a healthy child today When a man gets sick and is about to die Pop in the swell cafe and get his chocolate pie You need some pork chop poultice, stew and beans To your stomach three times a day" Do you know last winter when the time was tough Pork and beans in the kitchen was a-struttin' they stuff Pork chop poultice and the stew and beans To your stomach three times a day
