No Biscuit Blues Lyrics - Dancer With Bruised Knees - Kate & Anna Mcgarrigle

Never had no biscuit 

Never had no sweater to wear 

To keep me from the cold 

Never no potato 

Never had no leather on my feet 

'Til I was five years old 

When I was a baby my mama said 

I never had no food to keep me full 

And I never had no sweater made of wool 

And that went and made my daddy 

Have to pull a job 

(Which means he had to rob) 

But now though I have a biscuit 

And I have a sweater to wear 

To keep me from the cold 

My mammy, she is crying 

'Cause my daddy, he is lying 

With no biscuit, and no sweater, 

On the cold stone floor 

While my mammy and me 

We don't want for nothing more
