"Gimme a Pigfoot" is a 1933 song written by Wesley Wilson, probably with Coot Grant, his wife, though she is not usually credited on record labels.

Bessie Smith recorded the song in New York on November 24, 1933, with a band led by pianist Buck Washington.

The musicians were Washington (piano), Benny Goodman (clarinet), Frankie Newton (trumpet), Jack Teagarden (trombone), Chu Berry (tenor saxophone), Bobby Johnson (guitar), and Billy Taylor (bass).

[1] The song's lyrics contrast the aspirations of those partying "up in Harlem every Saturday night, when the highbrows get together", with simpler pleasures: "At the break of day/ You can hear ol' Hannah say/ 'Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer/ Send me again, I don't care/ I feel just like I wanna clown."

[2] Later recordings of the song include those by Frankie "Half Pint" Jaxon (1940), Billie Holiday (1950), LaVern Baker (1958), and Nina Simone (1966).[importance?]
