Hot desert wind, burning sand
But this land it is my land
Wait by the well, rain don't come
River's dry, pray for my son
I'm just one, one more poor hungry man
Yes, I'm just one more poor hungry man

Sun in the sky hurts my eye
Mouth all dry, may God help me
Wait by the road, man don't come
Rice all gone for thirty miles

I'm just one, one more poor hungry man
I'm just one, one more poor hungry man
Yes, I'm just one more poor hungry man
I'm just one, one more poor hungry man

Shout at the truck passing by
No reply, dust in my mouth
Somebody soon find me here
Drowning here in baby's tears

Love in the world hear me soon
Save us all and save my child
Birds in the skies flying low
Baby no, his tears all dry

I'm just one, one more poor hungry man
I'm just one, one more poor hungry man
Yes, I'm just one more poor hungry man
I'm just one, one more poor hungry man

I'm just one, one more poor hungry man
Yes, I'm just one more poor hungry man
I'm just one, one more poor hungry man
Yes, I'm just one more poor hungry man

Steven Lawrence Winwood is most famous for his solo work, including two number one hits Higher Love and Roll with It, and for being the member of two supergroups, Traffic and Blind Faith, along with helping found the Spencer Davis Group at fourteen years old.

Speaking of which, Mozart had nothing on Winwood as a keyboard

As a boy in middle school, little Stevie Winwood played the Hammond synth for Blues gods and Rock & Roll founders like Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, B.B. King, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley, when they toured in Britain. We’d list more, but it’s exhausting to link all of those names.
