Lyrics Beans, Bacon, & Gravy - Pete Seeger
I
was
born
long
ago,
in
eighteen
ninety
four
I've
seen
many
a
panic
I
will
own
I've
been
hungry,
I've
been
cold,
and
now
I'm
growin'
old
But
the
worst
I've
seen
is
nineteen
thirty
one
Oh
those
beans,
bacon
and
gravy
They
almost
drive
me
crazy
I
eat
them
till
I
see
them
in
my
dreams
In
my
dreams
When
I
wake
up
in
the
morning
And
another
day
is
dawning
I
know
I'll
have
another
mess
of
beans
Well
we
congregate
each
morning,
at
the
county
barn
at
dawning
Everyone
is
happy
so
it
seems
But
when
our
day's
work
is
done,
and
we
pile
in
one
by
one
And
thank
the
Lord
for
one
more
mess
of
beans
Oh
those
beans,
bacon
and
gravy
They
almost
drive
me
crazy
I
eat
them
till
I
see
them
in
my
dreams
In
my
dreams
When
I
wake
up
in
the
morning
And
another
day
is
dawning
I
know
I'll
have
another
mess
of
beans
We've
Hooverized
on
butter,
and
for
milk
we've
only
water
And
I
haven't
seen
a
steak
in
many
a
day
As
for
pies,
cakes
and
jellies,
we
substitute
sour
bellies
For
which
we
work
the
county
road
each
day
Oh
those
beans,
bacon
and
gravy
They
almost
drive
me
crazy
I
eat
them
till
I
see
them
in
my
dreams
In
my
dreams
When
I
wake
up
in
the
morning
And
another
day
is
dawning
I
know
I'll
have
another
mess
of
beans
If
there
ever
comes
a
time,
when
I
have
more
than
a
dime
They
will
have
to
put
me
under
lock
and
key
For
they've
had
me
broke
so
long,
I
can
only
sing
this
song
Of
the
workers
and
their
misery
Oh
those
beans,
bacon
and
gravy
They
almost
drive
me
crazy
I
eat
them
till
I
see
them
in
my
dreams
In
my
dreams
When
I
wake
up
in
the
morning
And
another
day
is
dawning
I
know
I'll
have
another
mess
of
beans
