Junk Food (Delmark 3970) 
Ridin' down a highway in my ragged Greyhound bus 
Wanted to buy me some food but my money didn't have enough 
No time for foolin' around I had to go an' do a show 
So I edged it off the highway at a 7-11 store 
I bought junk food 
I bought me some junk food 
I bought some junk food 
I bought some junk food 
I bought me some junk food, junk food 
Lord, Lord, Lord 
I bought a long hot dog 
Wasn't no steak dinner but I ate just the same 
Wasn't no hamburger, I didn't stop at Burger King 
It wasn't no Fat Mac, and it wasn't no barbecue 
It wasn't no collard greens, I tell ya but plain old junk food 
I was eatin' junk food 
I was eatin' this junk food 
I was eatin' some junk food 
I was eatin' this junk food 
I was eatin' junk food, junk food 
Lord, Lord, Lord 
I ate a foot long dog 
I hate this junk food 
It's bad for my health 
But I'm playin' these lousy blues 
An' I can't afford nothin' else 
Never made too much money 
So that's all I've got to eat 
Them Polish hot dog and I buy 'em on Maxwell Street 
Got to eat junk food 
I got to eat junk food 
I got to eat junk food 
I got to eat junk food 
I got to eat junk food, junk food 
Woo Woo Wee 
Talkin' 'bout bologna an' cheese 
I've got to eat junk food 
I've got to eat junk food 
I've got to eat junk food 
I've got to eat junk food 
I've got to eat junk food 
I've got to eat junk food 
I've got to eat junk food 
I've got to eat junk food
