Lyrics Gimme a Pigfoot and a Bottle of Beer - Bessie Smith
25
cents,
hah,
no,
no,
I
wouldn't
pay
25
cents
to
go
nowhere
'Cause
listen,
yeah
Up
in
Harlem
every
Saturday
night
When
the
highbrows
get
together,
it's
just
too
tight
They
all
congregate
at
an
all
night
strut
And
what
they
do
is
tut,
tut,
tut
Oh,
Hannah
Brown
from
'cross
town
Gets
full
of
coin
and
starts
breaking
'em
down
And
at
the
break
of
day
You
can
hear
ol'
Hannah
say
Gimme
a
pigfoot
and
a
bottle
of
beer
Send
me
again,
I
don't
care
I
feel
just
like
I
wanna
clown
Give
the
piano
player
a
drink
because
he's
bringing
me
down
He's
got
rhythm,
yeah,
when
he
stomps
his
feet
He
sends
me
right
off
to
sleep
Check
all
your
razors
and
your
guns
We
gonna
be
arrested
when
the
wagon
comes
I
wanna
pigfoot
and
a
bottle
of
beer
Send
me
'cause
I
don't
care
Blame
me
'cause
I
don't
care
Gimme
a
pigfoot
and
a
bottle
of
beer
Send
me
again,
I
don't
care
I
feel
just
like
I
wanna
clown
Give
the
piano
player
a
drink
because
he's
bringing
me
down
He's
got
rhythm,
yeah
when
he
stomps
his
feet
He
sends
me
right
off
to
sleep
Check
all
your
razors
and
your
guns
Do
the
Shim-Sham
Shimmy
'til
the
rising
sun
Give
me
a
reaper
and
a
gang
of
gin
Play
me
'cause
I'm
in
my
sin
Blame
me
'cause
I'm
full
of
gin
