Blind Boy Fuller - Hungry Calf Blues Lyrics

Your calf is hungry mama, I believe he needs a suck
I say your calf is hungry mama, and I believe he needs a suck
Yes your milk is turnin' blue, I believe he's out of luck

Says I found out now mama, the reason why I can't satisfy you, save my soul
I said hey hey, can't satisfy you, save my soul
Yes you've got a new cat, he's sixteen years old

But I'm gonna save my jelly mama, gonna bring it right home to you
I said hey hey, gonna bring it right home to you
You can't find no young cat, roll jelly like this old one do

Says I got a new way of rollin' mama, I think it must be best
I said hey hey, yes I think it must be best
Said these here North Carolina women. just won't let Blind Boy Fuller rest

Hmmmmm, just won't let me rest
Hmmmmm, just won't let me rest
Said I got the kind of lovin', yes Lord, I think it must be best

Said I roll jelly in the mornin' and I also roll at night
I said hey hey, I also roll at night
And I don't stop rollin', till I know I rolled that jelly just right
