Scraps From Your Table

By:Hazel Dickens · Source Recording: Hazel Dickens (1980)

100%

Scraps from your table it's getting hard to take
Cold leftovers for which I wait
Crumb by crumb you give me some what she throws away
Scraps from your table leave me hungrier each day

It's time to clean up the party's over now
After party favors leftover wine
Getting tired of pickin' up the mess she makes of you
Scraps from your table I'm sendin' back with you

Cold cold love warmed over too
Ain't good for nothin when she's done with you
I'm tired of getting handouts standin' in your line
For yesterday's bad news and leftover wine

Now scraps from your table when I get my turn
Aren't sparse enough to light my fire much less make it burn
I'm starved out for lovin' what you never gave
Your see-through lies are well disguised but the menu's just the same
