| Well, I ack’d a sweet mama
|
| Just to let me a-be her kid
|
| She said, 'I might get boogered, Sonny
|
| An you couldn’t a-keep it hidden'
|
| Well, looked at me an she a’gain to smile
|
| She said, 'Now, I thought I could use you for my a-man a while
|
| Lord, if you just don’t let my, Herman catch ya 'ere!
|
| Now, an if ya just don’t let my, Herman catch you here'
|
| Well, some said it was degrees
|
| Some said it wadn’t, nothin' but disease
|
| But whatev’r it is
|
| A-slow achin’s killin' people, a-by-n degree
|
| I know that this slow-achin' something
|
| Murdering people by degrees
|
| You know it’s a soberin' thought
|
| Killin' you by degree
|
| Well, I went upstairs
|
| To pack my, a-leavin' trunk
|
| An I ain’t never, a-drunk no whiskey
|
| Know the blues made me a-sloppy drunk
|
| But I ain’t never drunk no whiskey
|
| But that old, blue-ooos made me drunk
|
| I ain’t never drunk no whiskey
|
| Blue-ooos that made me drunk
|
| Well, I got somethin' to tell ya, baby
|
| I want you to keep it, a-to yourself
|
| I don’t want you even, a-tell Mr. So an So
|
| He doesn’t wanna know nobody else
|
| But I don’t want you to tell any, baby
|
| Ple-eease tell nobody else
|
| I don’t want you even warnin' yo' baby
|
| Tell nobody else |
