Lyrics

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
