Back to The Song Challenge Winners!


Anyone is welcome to perform these songs in public without royalties; however, if any of them are recorded or published for profit, the writers/composers expect the usual royalties.

SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!

This CHALLENGE! was posted by popular demand (it would seem) and/or by thread creep from another thread. (For info, check out this thread).  The CHALLENGE! was to write a song about food -- your favorite food, your least favorite food, the things in your refrigerator, etc. Any food-based topic was fine.

Po' Food Blues by Praise
(Tune:  Pick any blues tune that fits, such as "Rather drink muddy water...")

I was lookin' in the icebox,
I didn't see no food.
I was lookin' in the icebox,
I didn't see no food.
Oh momma won't you feed me,
Something hot and good.

Now she's lookin' in the pantry,
She say she see some grits.
Oh now she's lookin' in the pantry,
She say she see some grits.
I had 'em six times last weekend,
I like to had the fits [sh*ts].

Well she's cookin' at the woodstove,
She got the heat up high.
Yes she's cookin' at the woodstove,
She got the heat up (way up) high.
Say she makin' something special,
Hey honey, make it right.

Well you know I love my po' food,
Never throw it out.
Sure you know I love my po' food,
Never throw it out.
Grits with redeye gravy, 
Grits all in my mouth.

Now I could use me some sweet dessert, babe,
Come on and do me right.
Sure do need your sweet dessert, babe,
I know you do me right.
Honey you know I love my po' food,
I could eat it all the night.
