Story Behind the Song
A broken love affair left potato with an empty bed and an empty kitchen. Now he misses his honey and his home-cooked grub.
Poor, poor potato!
Lyrics
Dinin' Car Blues
1. Here I'm havin' dinner, sittin' on this stool,
thinkin' 'bout my baby, and feelin' like a
fool;
I've got them low down, ground round, dinin' car again for dinner blues.
2. My baby, she done left me, and that's a cryin' shame.
I'm always blue and lonely now, and nothin' seems the same.
I've got them french fried, moon pie'd, dinin' car again for dinner blues...
you know those low down, ground round dinin' car again for dinner blues.
3. Well, trouble's settled on me since my baby went away,
I'd give a hundred dollars, if she'd come back home to stay.
I've got them mashed yam, burnt ham, dinin' car again for dinner blues...
you know them low down, ground round, dinin' car again for dinner blues.
4. Well I suppose she's got it better with her brand new man,
I told her 'fore she left, I said "I'm doin' the best I can."
I've got them tough steak, stale cake, dinin' car again for dinner blues...
you know those low down, ground round, dinin' car again for dinner blues.
