Ain't No Bread In The Breadbox - Roy Rogers, Norton Buffalo

There ain’t no bread in the bread box

'Cause we ain’t got no dough

And it’s seems like we ain’t got enough time

To go foolin' around no more

I’ve been working so hard for oh so long

What’ve you got to show?

Open up your eyes little darling

Let’s pack up your things and go

Open up your eyes little darling

Don’t want to live here no more

Open up your eyes little darling

Been here for far too long

Open up your eyes little darling

It’s time to move along

It was late into December

On a cold winter day

I’d just finished bringing wood into the kitchen

When I heard my Amanda say

She said «Elijah, you better look around

Things ain’t like they used to be

Times getting hard for you and me

Come on daddy, it’s time to shake things down»

There ain’t no bread in the bread box

'Cause we ain’t got no dough

And it’s seems like we ain’t got enough time

To go foolin' around no more

I’ve been working so hard for oh so long

What’ve you got to show?

Open up your eyes little darling

Let’s pack up your things and go

Open up your eyes little darling

Don’t want to live here no more

Open up your eyes little darling

Been here for far too long

Open up your eyes little darling

It’s time to move along

Later head down in the middle of the city and I went up to her flat

Trying to make it through life with my child and my wife

And the world upon my back

I said sweet thing, you better hold me tight

Things ain’t like they used to be

Times are hard for you and me

Come on baby, it’s time to make things right

There ain’t no bread in the bread box

'Cause we ain’t got no dough

And it’s seems like we ain’t got enough time

To go foolin' around no more

I’ve been working so hard for oh so long

What’ve you got to show?

Open up your eyes little darling

Let’s pack up your things and go

Open up your eyes little darling

Don’t want to live here no more

Open up your eyes little darling

Been here for far too long

Open up your eyes little darling

It’s time to move along
