Across the street there is a house under construction,
abandoned to the rain. Secretly, I shall go to work on it.

- James P. Johnson
Langston HughesFolks I've got them hungry blues
And nothin' in this to lose
People tellin' me to choose
Between dyin' and lyin' and keep
on cryin'
Tired of them hungry blues
Listen ain't you heard the news
There's another thing to choose
A brand new world clean and fine
Where nobody's hungry
And there's no color line
A thing like that's worth
anybody dyin'
I ain't got a thing to lose
But them doggone hungry blues
as recorded June15, 1939
