Sweet William rose one Monday morning
And he dressed himself in blue
He wrote, Mother, Father, your son is leaving
But you know, he still loves you
But I'm hungry
He walked down to the station
With his suitcase in his hand
He bought himself a one-way ticket
Headed for a promised land
Oh, I'm hungry
And when I get there I'll see
A land of milk and honey
There is a city far away
And a house upon a hill
Where a friend of mine does live
And I hope he lives there still
Oh, I'm hungry
And when I get there I'll see
A land of milk and honey
Let the midnight special
Shine its ever-loving light on me
I'm going where the moon is full
And all the food is free
Oh I'm hungry
And when I get there I'll see
A land of milk and honey
