Gotta love them pintos!

Pinto Bean Blues
Written circa 1976 by Roger Bain ©2020
Well, baby turn up the fire
And honey hand me some oil
Turn up the fire
And mama won’t you hand me some of that oil
Bring my chair in the kitchen
Let’s watch these pinto beans boil
Some like limas
And others just eat string
Well baby Some like the limas
And others they just seem to dig the string
But on my deathbed, mama
Pinto bean be my thing
You know I went to the cupboard
And what d’you suppose I found in there?
I went to the cupboard
And what d’you suppose I found sitting in there
If it wasn’t for a 50-pound sack of pinto beans
You know that cupboard was bare
If I could have one wish
You know what it would have to be
If I could have just have one wish
You know what it would have to surely be
Oh, to be cast adrift in a pinto bean sea
