Take This Bread - The Felice Brothers

Take this bread, if you need a friend

'Cause I’m alright if you’re alright

I ain’t got a lot, but all I got

You’re welcome to it

'Cause I’m alright if you’re alright

My neighbor Odetta

Came over to see if I was feeling better

Every morning at 8 through the backyard gate

And of all the pretty things she would bring

There was nothing like that song she sang

That could ease my sorry state

She’d sing to me:

Take this bread, if you need a friend

'Cause I’m alright, if you’re alright

I ain’t got a lot, but all I got

You’re welcome to it

'Cause I’m alright if you’re alright

Sha na na na na na

lalalalalala la

Whoa!

Take this bread.

Sure thing, If I got bread you got bread

And everybody in my company has got bread

You look a little hungry

I ain’t even that hungry, that’s how I look at it

Butter side up, butter side down

Doesn’t matter to me

If you got a slice, that’s nice.

I went for a walk, headlights in the dark

The man was dying in a pick-up truck

He took her from the wall, my parking lot

And killed her by the river

But the cops caught him in the guns

And I said to him.

Take this bread, if you need a friend

'Cause I’m alright, if you’re alright

I ain’t got a lot, but all I got

You’re welcome to it

'Cause I’m alright if you’re alright

Take this bread, if you need a friend

'Cause I’m alright if you’re alright

I ain’t got a lot, but all I got

You’re welcome to it

'Cause I’m alright if you’re alright

I’m alright if you’re alright
