Tampa Red Stockyard Fire Lyrics

Big trouble in the meat house
And it's all about that stockyard fire
Big trouble in the meat house
And it's all about that stockyard fire
All of the poor people kickin'
Because meat is gone up so higher

Let me tell you people
What that old stockyard fire will do
Let me tell you people
What that old stockyard fire will do
It will have you eating one
And it will have you skippin? two

That old stockyard fire
Left people in misery
That stockyard fire Left people in misery
It's got upset and wondering
Lord, what will the end be

That old stockyard fire
Sure did raise some sin
That old stockyard fire
Sure did raise some sin
Lord, it's got so many people
Eating out of the garbage can

Now I hope these stockyard dealers
Could read these poor people?s mind
If these stockyard dealers
Could read these poor people's mind
They would drop meat more lower
And avoid wasted trouble and time
