"Take This Bread" lyrics

"Take This Bread"
(originally by The Felice Brothers)

Take this bread
If you need it, friend
'Cause I'm alright if you're alright
I ain't got a lot, but all I got
You're welcome to it
'Cause I'm alright if you're alright

My neighbor Odetta
Came over to see if I was feeling better
Every morning at eight, through the backyard gate
And of all the pretty things she would bring
There was nothing like that song she'd sing
That could ease my sorry state
And she'd sing

Take this bread
If you need it, friend
'Cause I'm alright if you're alright
I ain't got a lot, but all I got
You're welcome to it
'Cause I'm alright if you're alright

'Cause I'm alright if you're alright
'Cause I'm alright if you're alright

And I got a letter
Said the sweet Lord transferred Odetta
To that all night diner in the sky
But every early spring I hear her sing
Sitting on my front porch swing
Oh, I hear her sing
She sings

Take this bread
If you need it, friend
'Cause I'm alright if you're alright
I ain't got a lot, but all I got
You're welcome to it
'Cause I'm alright if you're alright

Take this bread
If you need it, friend
'Cause I'm alright if you're alright
I ain't got a lot, but all I got
You're welcome to it
'Cause I'm alright if you're alright
I'm alright if you're alright
