Penny, sir
The foundations
A penny sir, a penny sir
I'm so hungry, sir
Oh please, sir
My father is dead and my mother in hell
And I'm so hungry, sir
A penny, sir

No penny boy
I have no penny boy
And these pennies boy don’t go on tree
No, these penny don’t go on tree

An old lady, she hear my cry
And she came to me and asked
What’s the matter, boy?
I said, my father is dead and my mother in hell
And I'm so hungry miss, a penny man

It’s a long road, a crooked road
But you make it boy, go on boy
And take this penny boy
It’s all I have boy
And remember boy, this penny boy

Oh, yeah, I’ll remember
Yes, I will, oh yes I will
