Starver - John Brown's Body

No water no wine

Is ever left me

You take me through the starving time

Oh love you are divine

No water no wine

No never says she

Will we take bread before the starvers dine

We keeping alive

Given a dollar and that’s all we get

Cook all the food at night we shiver and fret

You better know that you have a poison

No antidote, find the medicine

Check out the con man and company

Do what they want with the green trees and economy

We seen a dream it’ll catch you one day

Hope not another hungry

Over and over shes getting weak

Forgotten.

She’s starving

Each morning she keep telling me she wants it

We want it, we want it

Woe that the starver in a land of plenty

In need, in need

Oh for the soil we keep chanting louder

Make it shower, make a garden grow

Didn’t you know how the story ends?

The wind don’t fly in a single direction

Break up miles of your best defense that you make, it’s a wicked invention

Why can’t we feed them here

Gather them all to me

We hungry now cause we been in need or we get rude

And we need it soon
