Barbecue Bess Lyrics
When you come to my house, come down behind the jail
I got a sign on my door, "Barbecue for Sale"
I'm talking about my barbecue, only thing I crave
And that good doing meat going to carry me to my grave
I'm selling it cheap, because I got good stuff
And if you try one time, you can't get enough
I'm talking about barbecue, only thing I sell
And if you want my meat, you can come to my house at twelve
Now some like it hot, some like it cold
Some take it any way it is sold
I'm talking about barbecue, only thing I crave
And that good doing meat going to take me to my grave
Some people wants it, some people don't
If you buy my barbecue, it just won't don't-don't-don't
Talking about barbecue, only thing I sell
And if you want my meat, you've got to come to my house at twelve
Some people wants to know the regular price
Fifty-five cents, you can get some twice
And I'm talking about my barbecue, only thing I sell
And you can get my meat any night at twelve
I got a sign on my door, "Barbecue for Sale"
I'm talking about my barbecue, only thing I crave
And that good doing meat going to carry me to my grave
I'm selling it cheap, because I got good stuff
And if you try one time, you can't get enough
I'm talking about barbecue, only thing I sell
And if you want my meat, you can come to my house at twelve
Now some like it hot, some like it cold
Some take it any way it is sold
I'm talking about barbecue, only thing I crave
And that good doing meat going to take me to my grave
Some people wants it, some people don't
If you buy my barbecue, it just won't don't-don't-don't
Talking about barbecue, only thing I sell
And if you want my meat, you've got to come to my house at twelve
Some people wants to know the regular price
Fifty-five cents, you can get some twice
And I'm talking about my barbecue, only thing I sell
And you can get my meat any night at twelve
