Sister says she's hungry
Brother says he's hungry too
If daddy don't get a job real soon
I don't know what we're gonna do
'Cause there's no food in this house
There's no food in this house
My daddy's looking mighty worried
Since they cut off the credit at the store
I used to ask mom what's for supper?
Now I don't ask her anymore
'Cause there's no food in this house
There's no food in this house
Daddy's been off from work now
Two months and a day
Mom, she don't say nothing
But last night I heard her pray
Oh Lord please do something
Something mighty fast
Many babies are hungry
I don't know how long we can last
'Cause there's no food in this house
There's no food in this house
The people from the church came by last night
And brought a big basket of food
I guess mama's prayers were answered
It's strange how the Lord does move
'Cause we've got food in this house
Now we've got food in this house
Now when we say the blessing
We thank Him for the food in this house
We thank Him for the food in this house
We thank Him for the food in this house
We thank Him for the food in this house
