Afternoon Matinee: Protest - No Biscuit Blues

Performed by Kate and 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
