Johnny Cash / Traditional (as well as many others) - Beans For Breakfast Lyrics

I couldn't hear you for the tv, I didn't know you said goodbye
I saw your cancelled check for the airfare, didn't know flyin' got too high

Beans for breakfast once again, hard to eat 'em from the can
I've run out of clean utensils, I'm a hungry, nasty lonesome man

I heard the crows outside my window, guess it's me they're talkin' about
The fire you lit has burnt to cinders, every good thing's fizzled out

Beans for breakfast once again, hard to eat 'em from the can
Wish you'd come back and wash the dishes, I'm a hungry, nasty lonesome man

Caught a cold with the window open, crow droppings on my window sill
Probably got histoplasmosis, got no gun or I would kill them crows

Beans for breakfast once again, hard to eat 'em from the can
Plastic forks are a dime a dozen, I'm a hungry, nasty lonesome man

Finally made it to the mailbox, felt so bad I thought I'd die
All I got was a bill from my doctor, well I guess flyin' ain't so high

Beans for breakfast once again, hard to eat 'em from the can
Blue tick mattress cold and greasy, I'm a hungry, nasty lonesome man

The house burned down from the fire that I built
In your closet by mistake after I took all them pills
But I got out safe in my duck head overalls
Beans for breakfast once again, I'm a hungry, nasty lonesome man
