I'm Gonna Feed You Now

Porter Wagoner · The Thin Man From West Plains (RCA Victor) [1965]

(Bob Morris)



Well, I finally got a job last Monday

I hadn't worked in a month to Sunday

And everything was gettin' hungry

But everything's all right now.



So gather 'round all you children

Gather 'round all you children

Gather 'round all you children

'Cause I'm a gonna feed you now.



Well, my horses're gettin' skinny

I'd've fed 'em if I hadn't any

But I didn't even have a penny

But I'm a gonna feed 'em now.



'Cause I got a job last Monday

I hadn't worked in a month to Sunday

And everything was gettin' hungry

But everything's all right now.



Well, the hogs started to gruntin'

And the old dogs started huntin'

And boy that's really somethin'

And I'm a gonna feed 'em now.



So gather round all you children

Gather 'round all you children

Gather 'round all you children

'Cause I'm a gonna feed you now.



Well, the hens they all stopped layin'

And the baby chicks started to strayin'

And the old rooster's even a prayin'

But I'm a gonna feed 'em now.



'Cause I got a job last Monday

I hadn't worked in a month to Sunday

And everything was gettin' hungry

But everything's all right now.



So gather round all you children

Gather 'round all you children

Gather 'round all you children

'Cause I'm a gonna feed you now.
