Kate & Anna McGarrigle - No Biscuit Blues [Intro] [Verse 1] Never had no biscuit Never had no sweater to wear To keep me from the cold [Verse 2] Never no potato Never had no leather on my feet ’Til I was five years old [Bridge] When I was a baby my mama said I never had no food to keep me full And I never had no sweater made of wool And that went and made my daddy have to pull a job N.C. Which means he had to rob [Verse 3] But now though I have a biscuit And I have a sweater to wear To keep me from the cold [Verse 4] My mammy she is crying ’Cause my daddy he is lying With no biscuit and no sweater On the cold stone floor While my mammy and me We don’t want for nothing more

La chanson évoque les souvenirs d'une enfance marquée par la pauvreté et le manque de confort. Elle décrit une vie où l’on n’a pas eu les choses les plus simples, comme de la nourriture ou des vêtements chauds, ce qui a conduit le père à des actes désespérés pour subvenir aux besoins de la famille. Malgré ces difficultés, il y a un passage à une situation légèrement meilleure, mais la douleur persiste, surtout dans le cœur de la mère, dont la tristesse rappelle les luttes du passé. Cette mélodie fait résonner l’écho de la résilience face à l'adversité.
