One Meatball chords by Josh White

Chords with lyrics

A augmentedA little old song from the great-depression times back in the 30s.
Josh White made it popular but he certainly didn't wrote it.
The main riff/chorus is kinda groovy:

E7E7

the verse is slow and sad, goes something like this:

E7E7
A augmentedA little man walked up and down,
            A minorAm
He found an eating place in town,
DmDm
He read the menu through and through,
E7E7
To see what fifteen cents could do.
    E7E7
    One meatball,    one meatball,
    E7E7
    He could afford but one meatball.

He told that waiter near at hand,
The simple dinner he had planned.
The guests were startled one and all,
To hear that waiter loudly call.
    One meatball, one meatball,
    He could afford but one meatball.

Little man felt so ill at ease,
He said: "Some bread Sir, if you please."
The waiter hollered down the hall:
You get no bread with your one meat ball.
    One meatball, none meatball,
    He could afford but one meatball.

Little man felt so very bad,
One meat ball is all he had.
And in his dreams he can still hear that call
You get no bread with your one meat ball.
    One meatball, one meatball,
    He could afford but one meatball.
